Ruffled Romney

The republican frontrunner, Mitt Romney, hasn't let one of his rivals get under his skin since a CNN debate in Las Vegas in November, when Rick Perry pointed out that Romney once hired a contractor that employed illegal immigrants. Since then, in debates and on the campaign trail, Romney has largely floated above his rivals and trained his fire on Barack Obama instead. But Rick Santorum finally managed to get Romney flustered early in the debate. Santorum said a pro-Romney super PAC was distorting his Senate vote to allow convicted felons to vote after they served out their time in prison. Romney seemed to be caught flat-footed whether he too supported felon voting rights as governor of Massachusetts. Romney was evasive, pausing to gather his thoughts and game out a response. "We have plenty of time; I'll get there," Romney said to Santorum. "I'll do it in the order I want to do."
