POLL: Who Won The Florida GOP Debate?

The second and last debate before the Florida primary pitted Republican hopefuls against each other once more.

The latest GOP presidential debate could be a turning point in the race to get the Republican nomination.

Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum faced off in their 19th debate in Jacksonville, Florida, and the last one before Tuesday's primary in the state.

This is the second debate in the state and a chance for Gingrich and Romney to one-up the other in this close primary race. Of course, they didn't wait for the debate to start.

Also, unlike the last debate, the audience was allowed to applaud for the candidate's responses. This was in response to Gingrich and his campaign complaining that silencing the audience was unfair.
