Santorum is throwing darts at Mitt and Newt, with little fear of getting attacked himself.

Newt is right on tonight.

Don’t be fooled by the stacked audience cheering for Romney.

Newt’s answers have been spot on, detailed and to the point.

[TJA]

Santorum is doing great

[Reagan69]

Rick, blah, blah, blah,blah, blah.

[rodguy911]

Don’t even go there its just too depressing.

[Newton]

Yes, boxers or briefs! the future of our nation depends on the answer to that question! LOL!

[bgill]

Mitt - “I woud repeal ObamaCare.” Say whaaaat?

[JediJones]

Well, Mitt, I guess you’ll rubber stamp anything the Congress sends your way then, right, even if it violates your principles?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Mitt ignored Newt’s request for a truce and just keeps attacking him.

How do you think that played with the general audience? It seemed obvious to me, and slimy as hell.

[Gator113]

But I think that somehow Newt needs too better than fine, especially tonight.

[AlwaysFrosty]

Newt is doing fine! Remember HE is the choice for the revolution! So what if he is only doing “fair” tonight! Most people are watching American Idol and Person of Interest anyway!

[mylife]

Santorum nails Romney!

[Irish Eyes]

LOL...Romney said if I were governor.

[Marcella]

“Never mind WHITEY on the Moon.”

What does that mean?

[AFPhys]

Newt did great deflecting and defending against the “he supported healthcare” by Santorum

Mitt really got hurt on this issue, especially with Santorum’s rebuttal.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Santorum pounding Romney on Romneycare - go RICK. Newt will take flack on the mandate issue, but this issue sticks to Mitt, just as the Food Stamp President label sticks to Obummer.

Did you notice the banner on the bottom with their recap, it stated that Santorum states that Newt supported the mandate for 20 years - not a word about freakin romneycare...so pitiful...
