Hosted by Wolf Blitzer at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.
Word is the audience will be "allowed" to participate.
Mags, that is a PERFECT summation!
Lord forgive me, but I cannot stand Romney.
Not when you desperately need a push to the finishing line. I predict that Newt won’t win Florida after his poor performance tonight.
I honestly don’t understand why he’s losing. There was a truckload of Romney information over the last few days that he could have used! What about Romney buying the computers used to create Romneycare? How about his adviser saying that Romney wouldn’t support repeal of Obamacare?
I support Newt because he’s a fighter, but he sure doesn’t look like one tonight.
Now that all important question: Why your wife would make a good First Lady?”
Can we PLEASE have a debate run by ADULTS for a change?
Your absolutely right..Romney cannot beat Obama because he IS Obama..as it relates to EVERYTHING. Romney just admitted to being a “liberal” well when he was running for Governor he said he was a progressive..yet us Republicans are supposed to rally behind this sack of nothing if he is the nominee..it pisses me off so much..what the hell has happened to the Republican party
OMG!!!!
Santorum just DESTROYED Romney on healthcare!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, followed up after the break by that idiot blitzer with “Why would your wife make a good first lady?”...This is freaking shameful. I AM NOT VOTING (to tell my elector I might add) for a FIRST LADY...
The question coming back from break is “who’s wife would be the best first lady”. Man we don’t care just stick to the issues. These questions are horrible. I think they are purposely chosen to numb our minds! They certainly don’t make this seem like a presidential debate. I have deeper debates than this with my 12 year old on a daily basis. UG! So frustrated.
It keeps the debaters focused off of Obama. Just like the upcoming First Lady question.
Here’s what I’ve taken from this debate so far:
ROMNEY DOES NOT THINK OBAMACARE IS WORTH GETTING ANGRY ABOUT!!!
Simply unreal. Newt tried to call them out on this crap, but at this point, he won't be able to do it effectively. I wonder if all these questions were composed in the Awful Office.
Super glue and ballpoint pens.
Wolfie just gave him a standing 8 count!
Will all the talk shows go after Santorum for attackin their willard like they do Newt??
At least doing that question before the break gives Newt some extra time to explain away trophy wife Callista.
Any of these candidate’s wives would out class The Wookie.
newt should call him out again for ignoring issues
I’ve always said I despise Romney, but I am seething with hate for him. What an evil snake.
He can’t bring himself to call obama “ a socialist” but he has no trouble smearing, patriot, conservative, Newt Gingrich.
Conservatives are Romney’s enemies.
Please, dear God make FLORIDA voters see this about Romney!
forget national defense or other important issues but “why would your wife make the best First Lady” ....stay tuned right after commercial.
This debate stinks.
Newt’s just enjoying the take down of Romney by Sntorum...everybody is....good chance to get another wind and I hope he comes out slugging.
Santorum on fire tonight and finally get to see the fighter in him. It’s about time....I didn’t think it was even there! But I am still in Newt’s court.
