NY Times: "A relaxed and self-assured Mitt Romney sailed above the fray at a crucial debate on Saturday night as his Republican rivals engaged in a spirited fight to determine which of them would emerge as his most formidable opponent when the party’s nominating contest moves past New Hampshire."

Washington Post: "The Republican presidential candidates squabbled over spending, leadership, national security and military service here Saturday night, with Rick Santorum thrown on the defensive over his record in Congress and front-runner Mitt Romney gliding largely unscathed through the forum."

Politico: "The Republican presidential debate Saturday broke out into a volley of charges and counter-charges between the candidates, but left front-runner Mitt Romney almost entirely unscathed in the second-to-last forum before Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary."
