Florence, South Carolina (CNN) - The day after he was roundly targeted by his rivals in a contentious debate, the GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney spoke before a sedate audience of roughly 100 in a cavernous room in Florence, South Carolina.

The candidate seemed to acknowledge the optics of a relatively small audience - compared to his previous events in the state - that was dwarfed by the large convention center. He immediately thanked the voters for showing up.

"You guys are great to get up at - what time is it here, 9 o'clock in the morning in Florence?" Romney said. "Gosh, this is a work day, right?"
