Thoughts on Sunday's Republican Primary Debate?

Tell us what you think of what the candidates had to say.

The GOP candidates took to the stage for the second of two debates over the weekend. They gathered in Concord, New Hampshire, 12 hours after facing off in Manchester for a debate that the Huffington Post calls the worst debate ever.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum answered questions about health care, questionable campaign ads and their thoughts on fellow candidates.

For those of you who slept in Sunday or just missed the final Republican debate in New Hampshire, you can read the full transcript on the Washington Post website.
