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.

Livestream here.

I’d be happy with President Santorum. I think he’s the best on character and accountability.

[PapaNew]

Santorum needs to stop talking about a “balanced budget.” It’s about CUTTING GOVERNMENT SPENDING. Otherwise, balanced budget = RAISING TAXES.

[bigbob]

I’m with Dr. Paul!

[imchris]

The moon will soon be occupied by 11 millions illegal immigrants.

[glock rocks]

You miss Newt’s speech at the Holiday Inn? That was the topic. It’s on CSPAN for replay.

[ez]

It’s starting to become clear that ROMNEY is dragging everyone down into the gutter.

Paul - send politicians to the moon!!!!!

---

A lunar legislature LOL

[Biblebelter]

Ron Paul makes a lot of sense, but he makes no sense when he said we need more Gates and Buffets.

[show]

You know it’s a bad debate when Ron Paul is the funniest, most charming one on the stage!

Actually, that would be Newt. Did you hear him laugh prior to something Newt said before the next question?

Newt is the spark in EVERY debate.

NEWT is the one people want to see and has the buzz. Newt has more buzz than ANYONE in this Country right now. He is popular and he the salt of the earth.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Made me lol with that comment - can’t say I disagree, I say send mittens first!

This entire debate is an insult to any thinking citizen who gives a damn about this country.

[AFPhys]

Gingrich better nail this conclusion of the moon base perfectly...

[rodguy911]

When you stop and think about it this election for our side is turning on absolutely nothing of substance! This is all crazy.

[bgill]

Newt and Paul once again complimenting each other.

[Fawn]

Why are we talking about the friggin moon???

[mylife]

"To da moon Alice!"

[AFPhys]

Newt DID nail this perfectly !!!

[opentalk]

CNN dodged the debt issue again, ....lets get back to space issue

[freemarketsfreeminds]

I think that Mitt saying he’d rather spend the money here (rather than spend it on going to the moon) instead of just saying we can’t affored it was telling.

[billys kid]

I seriously hate Romney’s guts. A few years ago I couldn’t say that since I didnt know who the hell he was, but now, I can honestly say I absolutely despise him..he is a total prick..

HE is Sauroman to our Gandalf.

GO NEWT!

[MissMagnolia]

It looked BAD when Newt was a bigger man & offered a truce and Mitt all but threw it back in his face.
