GOP candidates rip into Romney in second debate

CONCORD, N.H. – The Republican presidential candidates on Sunday ripped into frontrunner Mitt Romney, using their second debate in just 12 hours to assail Romney’s conservatism, his record as Massachusetts governor and his political ambitions just two days before nation’s first presidential primary.

The attacks on Romney, who is widely favored in New Hampshire, were in stark contrast to the previous night’s debate in Manchester when the five candidates trying to define themselves as the conservative alternative to Romney largely spared him while assailing each other.
