Fox has a livestream. They carry all the speeches usually, but know what you're watching :p.
Also, National Review has a short piece on a possible legal challenge to the florida results (link). Could take the already excellent primary fight to even higher levels. Lawsuits and politics always combine really well.
Interesting how people look at the candidates and their reasons for supporting them. Personally, while I understand the intelligence of the man and some of his ideas, I cannot support Gingrich - red you make excellent points above but I don't think any candidate can be judged on one single aspect, regardless of how important that aspect is. He is still riding the outrageous bullshit about 'death panels' in the Obamacare (I really don't understand how the word Obamacare is pejorative - seriously, it's as insulting as the words liberal or socialist, which admittedly are pejoratives in some circles), and he tried to impeach Clinton for his affair with Lewinsky. Impeach a president for an affair, and lying about it. I don't condone Clinton's affair but I wasn't aware impeachment was designed to oust an adulteror. But what was Gingrich doing at the time? His own secretary, while asking his wife for an open marriage. He's just too hypocritical for me.

The impeachment wasn't because Clinton was an adulterer, it's because he committed perjury, lying under oath.
Obamacare is considered a pejorative because a majority of the American people did not want the bill passed, but Obama pushed it through with the help of Nancy Pelosi who used favors, bribes, and even blackmail.
"Death panels" is of course a scare term, but it's also a fact that any government regulated system is going to have to ration health care based upon administrative decisions rather than insurance policy restrictions.
Red did make a lot of good points, but a lot of his solutions are questionable because they completely eliminate the price mechanism.

The only 2 times this country has bothered to impeach a president it's been over something stupid.
I'd vote for bachman simply because she's such a fucking nutjob, the United States would be a living hell if she won. Good luck with your money-infested lobbyism aka the white house.
Isn't the nomination already over? I mean it's been clear for a while that Romney is gonna win florida by a wide margin, essentially securing him the nomination. The shows pretty much over in my opinion.

Except there's only a little over 100 delegates divided, with ~2000 left to be gained. Well, more like ~1000, give or take up to 70 depending on the candidate.

How is this blind hate for America relevant to this thread at all?
Did you guys hear about how Gingrich and his security guards stomped on this Ron Paul supporter's feet to get him to move out of their camera shot? Pretty despicable.
On a lighter note, here is a parody of the GOP candidates by the funny or die guys. It's pretty hilarious.
