Republicans Spar at Presidential Debate

The World

The Republican presidential candidates squared off last night in New Hampshire. It wasn’t the first debate — South Carolina beat the state to the punch. But it was the first one with former Massachusetts governor and front-runner Mitt Romney on stage, and a litmus test for Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. Todd Zwillich, Takeaway Washington correspondent reports on the debate. Former GOP New Hampshire state legislator and conservative political consultant Fran Wendelboe also gives her reaction.
