Iowa Contest Brings Tough Talk

As Iowans gather for caucuses, and the 6 Republican candidates voice last minute arguments and attacks in hopes of defeating President Barrak Obama, the race seems to be getting very close. Mitt Romney seems to be taking the lead in the polls while Rick Santorum has surged in recent days with evangelicals rallying around him, and some predicting he could be the conservative alternativ4e to Mr. Romney. Ron Paul seems to be right behind them presenting some challenge, while Newt Gingrinch, Rick Perry, and Michelle Bachmann have greatly fallen in the polls after each has been leading at one point.
Mr. Gingrinch kindles the fire as he verbally attacks Mr. Romney on CBS, calling him a liar and a “Poll-driven, consultant-guided” figure and his health-care plan as “Romneycare”. He claims that Romney wants everyone to believe he is a conservative when Romney himself is supporting tax-paid abortions, Planned Parenthood, and raises hundreds of millions of dollars of taxes on business and appoints liberal judges to appease Democrats.
Romney seemed to try and prove viewers he was more of a family guy by appearing with most of his family at his final Iowa event in Des Moines. His wife described Romney’s father as being the reason they were there at that moment and the person on which his shoulders they stood. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bachmann tells a source she does not plan to drop out of the race, even after she has fallen to last place in the race. She claims she has already bought her ticket to South Carolina.
Three major figures announce that they are no longer running. These three consist of Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Chris Christie of New Jersey, and Haly Barbour of Mississippi. While the Democratic caucus is also happening in Iowa, President Obama is running unopposed and everyone is anxiously awaiting the New Hampshire Primary this Tuesday 1/10/12 as Mr. Romney carries on the big lead.
