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

Romney has a habit of repeating others answers.sort of obamesque...

Newt slaps the moderator again. LOL!

Did Santorum just say his 7 year old father came here with his grandfather???? His dad was not a NBC?

It's common knowledge that Santorum's dad was born in Italy. Not sure why it matters to Santorum's status.

Hope you feel better soon. We need yew around here.

I never thought I’d see the day that I’d find Romney more tolerable than Santorum, but tonight it happened.

My theory is that he sees his support slipping away, and the pressure has caused a complete implosion.

Wow! Newt just called-out Newt on his pro-life record. This should be good...

[DoughtyOne]

Like hell it is.

Do you want 20 to 35 million illegals put on the fast track to citizenship, then able to bring over their close relatives?

Is it now dead to oppose upwards of 100 million new citizens within ten to twenty years?

They were Italian Immigrants

[Yossarian]

I have been supporting lots of people who are now out of the race. I unfortunately tonight think that Rick Santorum is going to be out of the race. That means that Mr.Newt will have to be my guy.

Actually, based purely on your admitted record, can you "support" Ron or Mitt? We'll understand and won't hold it against you, provided your hex keeps its power up!

LIFE issue!

Romney changed his mind: Newt’s campaign sent a mailer?

LOLOLOL.

NEWT NAILING abortion in Romneycare!

[livius]

Gingrich didn’t say he was going to deport them. (Even leaving aside logistical concerns, you can’t do this simply from an economic point of view.) He said that cases of long-term illegal immigrants have to be dealt with by a citizen review board that would look for certain features and make a decision on that basis. And the management of new legal immigrants would be handled by private companies which would actually make the lousy government run system that we now have into something functional. It’s not being enforced now because it is so full of holes that nobody knows where to begin. Gingrich is right, the whole thing needs to be redone.

Romney’s droning on and on reminds me of the “wa wa wa-wa wa” of the teacher voice in Charlie Brown.

[Irish Eyes]

Romney is really stumped on this last question Sweat time.

[angelcindy]

Better yet he can go play in traffic!! and take willard with him

[Shelayne]

Santorum is actually making Romney look good, and that petulant look he has on his face isn’t very becoming, and I LIKE Rick Santorum.

I wish he would start attacking Obama.
