The Big Story An aggressive Mitt Romney repeatedly challenged Republican rival Newt Gingrich Thursday night in the final debate before next week's critical Florida primary, demanding an apology for an ad saying he harbors anti-immigrant sentiments and ridiculing the former House speaker's call to colonize the moon.

Election 2012 Mitt Romney's father, George, was born in Mexico, and his extended relatives still live in the border state of Chihuahua.
