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.

Link to CNN livestream page.

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

Newt’s ego is going to be his undoing. Because he can debate doesn’t wrap up the election.

Pride goeth before the fall

[RedMDer]

LOL!

[bray]

Rick will be quitting Sunday morning at this rate. His stand against Newt’s SS answer was big gummit.

[RitaOK]

LOL! Paul breaks! LOL! You would have MORE time if you left the room during Santorum’s grating whine mimes.

[jwalsh07]

Repudiated? Santorum exposed them both as big government healthcare czars who want to take my money if I don’t buy the health insurance they mandate.

Has FR been podded?

[lwoodham]

Romney reminds me of a used car salesman. I don’t believe a damn thing he says, just like Obama.

[ReneeLynn]

Geez, baiting Santorum against Newt. Rick’s going for it too.

[Red Steel]

Santorum rolling his eyes to the question of who should get out of the race. Like here we go....

[AFPhys]

I have to agree with Rick here - that it is a concern that Newt says things at times that are “worrisome”

[pollywog]

??????????????????????????????

[Linda Frances]

I will support santorum, newt, even paul.

[A. Morgan]

Rick is singing his swan song!

[CynicalBear]

>> Unfortunately, this one is going to stick on Newt long term.<<

Newt hit that slimey crap and those that hang on to it out of the park tonight. His ex was lying. She was clingy and wanted him to not go out and work on his career. She was a needy beotch who has no self esteem.

[Reddy]

What is up with the attacks on Rick? Listen to him... steady, solid, not doing/saying things you have to worry about!

So true!!

[RitaOK]

Santorum is an embarrassment and now.....small!

[Leo Carpathian]

Oh sheeeeeet!!!

[show]

Others prefer Newt as well....

[Leep]

Santorum trying to get a job with CNN?

[onyx]

Sarah renewed her support? I'm still sick and I'm devoting my time here to our FReepathon thread, so I must have missed the thread or news about Sarah Palin!!!!

I slept through Governor Perry's endorsement, which I thought was courageous, patriotic and an act of true Christianity.

God bless Governor Perry!

Santorum lectures Newt on the individual health insurance mandate.

Newt fails to point out that Santorum was also for an indiviudal health insurance mandate.

Santorum Supported Individual Health Insurance Mandate In 1994 Republican Primary

And Newt failed to point out that Santorum voted for the Precription Drug Mandate.
