"For Rick Perry it became a political issue; it definitely skunked him in Iowa and generated a lot of reaction about how he wants to spend taxpayer money on illegals," he says. "You cannot afford to lose any of the many slices of GOP salami that you have to put together to make a successful win at the caucuses."

The Republican field is set to square off in a debate in Iowa on Saturday.

Your own poll, at this site, conspicuously leaves out any mention of Ron Paul leading at 64% (currently). You can't honestly believe what is written here can you?

Newt is a great guy as a democrat,I will like Newt to run against Obama not because he will win but rather to shield like on new ideas that can help bring this country where it is needs to be. It is quiet unfortunate that the only thing current republican feild have going for them is arguing about Obama's birth place. At least Newt understands that Obama did not creat this problem, rather he is not handling it well; thats a start because the only way to solve a problem is to accept it then look for a solution. Go Newt you will win repubilcan nomination as long as you didn't meet with Mr Trump. Every single republican front runner who met Trump lose their front runner status even before the finish dinner with him, so keep off from Trumps you will make it.
