Newt and Santorum and Mittens' comments aren't all that far from what Obama said.

“As I understand Florida law, what he was doing had nothing to do with the law that people are talking about,” Mr. Gingrich told reporters. “The law involved somebody who’s coming at you. As I understand it, he was trailing the young man. The young man wasn’t trailing him. I suspect justice will be done.”
“There’s a difference between Stand Your Ground and doing what he did,” Mr. Santorum said Friday. “It’s a horrible case, I mean it’s chilling to hear what happened, and of course the fact that law enforcement didn’t immediately go after and prosecute this case is another chilling example of horrible decisions made by people in this process.”
Mitt Romney issued a statement from his campaign saying that “What happened to Trayvon Martin is a tragedy. There needs to be a thorough investigation that reassures the public that justice is carried out with impartiality and integrity.”
These are fair comments, IMO.
I don't know about any other Republicans, though...
