Word is the audience will be "allowed" to participate.

Livestream here.

Santorum trying to sound large and Presidential and coming off as wandering and unfocused. He needs to vary his speech cadence once in a while, jeez.

[Vendome]

Hell yeah!

[freemarketsfreeminds]

it’s 100% fixed from questions to audience balance.......romney has only ever received that much applause from democrats.

[Rome2000]

Santorum exposing a tiny pair on calling out the commie in chief on Honduras but coming up short of calling the Democrats communists.

[nbenyo]

Yeah, I can’t stomach Gingrich’s liberal rhetoric on illegals. There is no way I can vote for him.

[Bronzy]

“Mitt has sound bites...and the stare!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Sounds like Rubio’s gone over to the dark side.

And to think I had such hopes for him.

[Right_in_Virginia]

It feels like Newt’s given up.

[dragnet2]

"Our problem is not with 11 million illegal alien grandmothers."

Why don't they mention the nearly 1000 anchor babies being delivered at hospitals like Parkland Dallas EACH month?

[rodguy911]

Romney's handlers are slick.

I hope these guys will talk about our 15 trillion dollar debt. 5 trillion or 1/3 is due to the regime! It is "the" topic and never discussed.

[Irish Eyes]

I sure miss Rick Perry.

Me too

[mardi59]

Paul is so out there. He is making himself look stupid...oh wait..

[onyx]

LOL. Yes!

Good grief.

Get this debate back to Newt Gingrich.

[bigbob]

Lynch mob? What? Perry’s problem was he couldn’t convince enough people he could win to continue funding his campaign!

[ez]

Haven’t heard Newt in 15 min.

[Sarah Barracuda]

CNN stacked this debate with Romney drones..the fix was in from the start. I heard today how Romney sent a few of his goons to Gingrich rally’s to smear him..how pathetic is THAT..Romney behaves like a 5 year old, I mean really, resorting to those kind of tactics is beyond pathetic

[icwhatudo]

Santorum on fire...finally. Too little too late?

[Clint N. Suhks]

So the CNN Brownshirts are allowing applause?

[Biblebelter]

Wolfie slams Romney.
