And then there were three and a half minds left campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.

Hosted by CNN's John King at the North Charleston Coliseum.

Newt kickin’ass! Obama cam have his teleprompter, I’ll go on what I know.

[Williams]

They (CNN) are just using Santorum.

WOO-HOO!!!

Oh what a night it is going to be. Starts in 20 mikes. Thanks for the kind words FRiend. Let’s just hope that Newt does well tonight and Santorum goes after Romney and Obama only. I seriously forgot that Paul was still in it. I think he is done except for the big Virginia win he will have.

[Kenny]

I’m glad Rick is highlighting our problems fighting Obamacare. Better now than later.

[CASchack]

Newt slapped down Santorum.

[eyedigress]

I have more compassion for those that should be working but can’t find a job. (Uh-Oh, lil Ricky picking a fight with Newt)

[meadsjn]

What’s up with the pained grin on Romney? It’s annoying.

He's wearing one of those saggy diapers that leak.

[bigbob]

Jeez, after that round about obamacare even I am anxious to hear from Ron Paul for a change

[rodguy911]

Two great patriots,great photo!!Lucky guy!!

[Severa]

My mom says about Santorum, “He looks and sounds like someone that I can beat up”

[AFPhys]

Funny how long RPaul was out of it! It was great as long as it lasted.

I have to agree with him, though that gov’t involvement in healthcare (including landing a good blow on Rick due to his support of the prescription drug prog.)

[RedMDer]

Big time.

[bjcoop]

Santorum exposes RINOs Romney and Gingrich on healthcare

[hope]

Agree....I think he's channeling Bachman.

[pyx]

Ron Paul believes there was no government in the 1960's. Ron Paul demonstrates yet again that senility is a bummer.

[Marcella]

Just sent you a Ricola cough drop for your throat. Catch it when it comes through the air.

[writer33]

Yes, sir.

[Rational Thought]

And Gingrich conceded Santorum was right (which he was). Gingrich did support an individual mandate....

[livius]

Santorum is such a dweeb. Why are they giving him so much time tonight?
