With poll numbers and public opinion changing on a daily basis, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum strike like gladiators on a battlefield of debates and primaries. It is hard to keep up with what’s going on, especially when the candidates seem more concerned with exposing their rivals’ weaknesses than discussing the … Continue reading Republian race for the nomination
