POLL: Who Won the Florida Debate?

Mild fireworks and word play. Who do you think won?

The four leftover Republican candidates have moved onto Florida and tonight, they held their first debate on NBC.

There were some mild fireworks and verbal tangling between the four, with the center two, former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney and former Speaker Newt Gingrich, sword-fighting over lobby and business interests.

The outer two - former Sen. Rick Santorum and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul - stuck to their core issues, as they have in the past, with Paul focusing on the Constitution and Santorum emphasizing manufacturing and his ability to build a coalition to beat Obama.
