Bracket | Most Memorable GOP Debate Moments (Round 2, Day 1)
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Round 2 begins with match-ups in the Audience Participation and Gaffe divisions, and the winners will go on to represent their categories in the Final Four.
Rick Perry's "Oops" and Mitt Romney's $10,000 bet, the #1 and #2 seeds, respectively, easily made it out of Round 1 in the Gaffes department. Results were similar in the Audience Participation division, where the booing of a gay soldier (#1) and "Let him die" (#2) each advanced to the Elite Eight.
Check out the rest of the remaining moments on our bracket below.
