Hosted by Wolf Blitzer at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.

Livestream here.

[Leep]

Romney says, I’m not a Marxist like Obama..I am a social liberal..big difference.

[AFPhys]

Rick should say that it IS worth getting mad about.

[LostInBayport]

Santorum taking Romneycare to the woodshed!

And how. And contrary to Mitt, it IS WORTH GETTING ANGRY ABOUT. I am forced...forced!...by the state to make a certain purchase every month to subsidize a growing number of people who are on state care.

Go Rick!

[Pravious]

“It’s not worth getting angry about...” Um, uh... uh... “I have a blind trust...” um.... uh... “Well, I don’t know what’s in those ads...” uh... ummm.... uh....

You can’t NAIL this snake.

[MaxMax]

Romneycare IS Obamacare ROMNEY! You freeking LIAR!

[dragnet2]

This is brutal. Newt is getting torn apart.

Romney is obviously strategically ramping up against Newt. It's almost as though Newt is holding back, as if he knows Romney has something yet unrevealed.

From my view, so far, Romney acts like he hasn't eaten in a week, looking at Newt like he's a thick steak.

Santorum is beating down Romney in the front yard, with all the neighbors watching.

[mylife]

Now if Gingich would give Mitt a Newtclear wedgie, that would be something!

[Michael Barnes]

Romney "In debating President Obama...I ...blah..blah"...

Looks like the focus groups are showing what we here at FR know, Romney is going to get clobbered.

[glock rocks]

WOODSHED. GO RICK!

drink.

[struggle]

Mitt got owned on that one.

[Cboldt]

-- Well Santorum just gave up taking the high road. --

Heh. After being lectured by Santoruym, Romney says, "It's not worth getting angry over."

Oh yes it is.

Wolf wants to move on, Santorum won;t let it happen without getting in another word. Romney was just pwned.

[mojo114]

“Santorum does a great job on the healthcare question”.
Yes he is and making Mitt uncomfortable to the point that Mitt was getting angry. So Mitt says” it is not worth getting angry over” Huh, you were the one getting angry at Santorum getting on your game.
Go Santorum!

[rodguy911]

We will go the entire debate without touching on key issues,its hard to imagine but its where we are headed.

[Biblebelter]

Ricky giving beat down.

[angelcindy]

Wolf wanting to get off the subject of obama

[bgill]

Hahahaha! Wolf just can’t take Mitt being slapped down and wants to move on. Yeah, Move On.

[ConservativeTeen]

Santorum is really taking it to Romney. Go Rick!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Wolf wants to move on and and Santorum won’t let him.

Well done Rick!!!!!

[CitizenM]

Rick is spot on...and Mitt says “It’s nothing to get angry about.” What...the whole country is angry about the issue of health care. It is something to resolve and it’s going to take a lot of arguing.

[Lady Lucky]

Santorum beats the LS out of Romney and he stands there smiling and making faces, then says, first of all it’s not worth getting angry about. WinTheFuture???
Santorum has the better of this one by far, and moreover, though I’m not happy with RS lately and think he should drop out, he is running away with this debate tonight.
