Jon Huntsman hits his high-water mark

The bright side, Jon huntsman Jr., the real people in their poll ratings, at last, when the campaign for votes in New Hampshire on Tuesday in a very low single digits, the teenagers that the candidate has met languishing. This is only good enough for third place was the dimmer side.

None of the people a chance to nominate the President of the Republic, Ron Paul sounds more and almost a quarter. And the people most likely to walk to the nomination of the mitt Romney, collect and third number. But the hunter expressed his satisfaction with the result and declared: ". We go to the south of here"

He, of course, his campaign hunter, arrived in the south speak and think in South Carolina. However, "continued the South" is the other way. It was the best chance for progress in New Hampshire. He does not do it, it can not be everywhere.

Rick Santorum has a shot at third place in Iowa

Rick Santorum is rising in the polls, and now looks like a contender for third place in Iowa.

The GOP hopeful Iowa caucus support among likely voters more than tripled since early December, which it was published for the third place with 16%, according to a CNN / Time / ORC poll on Wednesday.

Mitt Romney (25%) and Ron Paul (22%) exceed Santorum in the Hawkeye State survey, but it is far from Santorum's uber-longshot status only a few weeks.

His numbers have slipped, as he aggressively provoked the most influential evangelical leaders in the state, while tirelessly to visit all 99 Iowa counties.

A devout Catholic, Santorum strongly against abortion and gay marriage, and believes that America's economic problems are linked to the collapse of the institutions of marriage and family. He is open about the threat of "radical Islam" is to America.

Santorum echoed in the emergence of a similar study published on Tuesday by Public Policy Polling. He checked in at 10% in the poll, not far behind in third place Newt Gingrich (13%).

Romney and Paul also lead the PPP wenquête, but Santorum is considered the second most common choice for Iowa voters, when asked by pollsters to include the candidate.

Santorum has long cast itself as a reliable conservative, that voters can trust to stand by his principles when the going gets tough.

"I've always had to come the story of the girl in the room, go past us and take a turn with a few other guys to say beautiful," Santorum told The New York Times "and then at the end of the evening, a steady old Eddie , not pushy, but he's the man you know you want to take home to mom and dad. "

At Republican debate, Newt Gingrich rolls on with steady performance

In a campaign dominated by debate in particular, Newt Gingrich showed Saturday night why he tops the poll - and why he will not be easily overthrown.

Facing tough questions from Republican rival and moderators debate in Des Moines silat, Gingrich in rapid succession, without his or undisciplined cool show-much-discussed aspect of his personality.

It is the former Speaker of the House from the first debate as the undisputed leader and not only that he opposed the re-examination, he reminds voters the Republicans from office issues, intellectual ability and his confidence, a strong argument.

When Mitt Romney to claim provocative Gingrich complained that the Palestinians are "created" man, a former Georgia congressman was captured succinctly why his brand of bombastic playing so well, with GOP voters problematic.

"I think it is sometimes very helpful to a president of the United States with the courage to speak the truth have, like Ronald Reagan, for the entire national security apparatus, went to the Soviet Union called the" evil empire "and who is suspended throughout his State Department to say, 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,''said Gingrich, who calls himself a "Reagan" and then the kicker impressive: ". I will tell the truth, even if it is in danger is that sometimes some confusion with a shy "

Gingrich, Romney has proposed a "bomb thrower," but the applause Gingrich Hall debate in Des Moines, which explains in its response that Republican voters prefer combativeness to peace at this time.

What Gingrich is so terrible in the debates and the nomination is greater competition, that he not only appeals to the heart of the Republic, but his head. Former Professor of History offers the kind of articulate responses to the stage is only matched by Romney, while the language, the channels give-em-hell vibration GOP voters were preparing for a confrontation with President Obama.

Strategy Romney, Gingrich presented as too uncertain to nominate not translate when former Speaker of the House of sand at the edge sharp and does not look as bad or volatile. This is particularly true when, as on Saturday night, it's that Romney appears more nervous than Gingrich.

Former Speaker of the House is his friend Rick Perry, Governor of Texas when Romney became enamored spat over health care. Perry intimidate push former governor of Massachusetts to offer a $ 10,000 bet that he's right - the Democrats and the food line for GOP rival Romney on Romney after we got out of touch with average voters paint.

Romney is a competent performance in general, but as long as he cut a road Gingrich in the poll is not good enough. And Romney is the most memorable moment on Saturday night when he was offered a five-figure bets.

For his part, Gingrich offers a powerful version of its stock answers, ask whether infidelity in marriage and sent send a half-hearted attempt by Romney to hit him over the use of the moon colony, to amend the laws against child labor and the capital gains rate cuts for high earners.

While Romney surrogate be used starting this week for Gingrich as unpredictable, unreliable and less committed to represent conservatism, after debate, Romney officials indicated that they had to move into more of a contrast to Romney's biography.

"Mitt Romney is the one that is out there, you know, in the real world," Romney said Stuart Stevens strategy. "He's not a historian in the world's highest paid at $ 1,600,000 This is just a different world .."

The question that now hangs over Iowa in the third run until January caucus, is whether the communication will encourage Gingrich to number in the next three weeks to the point where he lost - or maybe even score a victory.

The good news for Romney is that he still helps a bit to get into this. A SuperPac support his candidacy in a wave of hot air Gingrich. Both Ron Paul and Rick Perry also shot in Iowa and former Speaker advertising money poor Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann did the same thing through media appearances.

In fact, Gingrich worst moment in the ABC / Yahoo sponsored the forum if he is to react with a flash of anger faded series of attacks from Bachmann, single digits in Iowa.

Romney got a further boost on Saturday night, Paul, Perry, Santorum and Bachmann all delivered strong performances. If a candidate can improve their Iowa numbers, meaning that the more conservative voters still undecided, impartial Gingrich.

In the campaign as a thorough discussion of how to perform strongly dominate - and the buzz generated - could mean a lot to the prospect of Romney, because all the ads will air in Iowa.

There is a reason, but why Gingrich remains politically relevant, so long after you leave the house and why he now leads the Republican race after losing most of the entire campaign team and went into debt $ 1,000,000. He quickly stood up, has reached a good level and the ability to Republican voters, for now, have a few muffled his worst impulses.

Without self-inflicted wounds, are not sure what that is significantly slower to gain momentum.

Herman Cain Suspends His Campaign

A challenging Herman Cain forgiven and suspended his presidential campaign on Saturday, promising that he would "not go" as he left the Republican presidential race face charges of sexual misconduct climbing.

"As of today, with much prayer and introspection, I am suspending my presidential campaign," Cain said at a rally in Atlanta, surrounded by supporters chanting his name. "Due to further distractions the evil continues to cause me and my family, not because we are not fighters. Not because I'm not a fighter."

With the suspension of his candidacy, saying instead that he was ending his candidacy, Mr. Cain, according to campaign finance law, retains the ability to accept money for his campaign so far and potential finance the new company he called Plan B: to travel the country to promote his tax plans and policy the outside.

The fall of Mr. Cain campaign came as a new Des Moines Register poll showed that his supporters seem to be gravitating towards Newt Gingrich, the former house speaker. According to the survey, Mr. Gingrich is supported by 25 per cent chance the Republican caucusgoers, followed by Representative Ron Paul of Texas with 18 percent and Mitt Romney with 16 percent. The survey was conducted before Mr. Cain has suspended his campaign, and it showed, with the support of only 8 percent of respondents, a large reduction in previous surveys.

Other Republican candidates are in single digits. In the previous poll in Iowa, conducted in late October, from 7 percent agreed with Mr. Gingrich, while Mr. Cain was the choice of 23 percent.

Lord Romney said Saturday that the race remains open. "I do not think people really move permanently to decide who they will support in the nominating process," he said, adding: "I hope they give us a good overview of caution."

Mr. Cain said he would make an endorsement soon. With his wife, Gloria, on his rally in Atlanta, Mr. Cain said the charges of sexual harassment and a case of 13 were false. "I am at peace with my God," he said. "I am at peace with my wife, and she is at peace with myself."

Mr. Cain left much how it went. Circuslike atmosphere - complete with multiple delays, barbecue, blues and a group of supporters in colonial dress - was in line with irreverence and confusion of the campaign since its inception.

For several days, the campaign has sparked a "he will or not?" Storm of speculation as the media thrives on attention, news, denouncing it as the cause of Mr. Cain popularity. in free fall, Mr. Cain critics have long postulated that she was more interested in creating famous for yourself - as a way to sell books and raise the costs of language - to make a serious bid for the presidency.

Indeed, in his speech Saturday, Mr. Cain praised the increase in the near darkness, saying: "Right now, my ID name is probably 99.9", a reference to "9-9-9" plan, which combines a flat tax with a tax national sales.

However, Mr. Cain took what could be his last moment in the spotlight to denounce the national political culture in Washington, calling the policy "a dirty game."

Mr. Cain at the Atlanta fans were surprised and disappointed. They blamed the news media, shouting insults to the body in several releases.

Lisa Chambers, 48, a volunteer from Snellville, Ga., said: "This is not what I wanted. Not at all. I do not know what to do now. I'm so disappointed."

But other supporters were more pragmatic. Dean Kleckner, former president of the Iowa Farm Bureau, who gave Cain a rider to start, said: "I hate to say this, because it was a remarkable man in many ways, but frankly, I think he did the right thing. I'm disappointed in a way, relieved in a way. "

Other Republican candidates quickly welcomed Mr. Cain and his agenda, in an effort to attract supporters.

"It is very import to remember," Mr. Gingrich said Saturday during a campaign event, "was he who had the courage to start the 9-9-9 plan. Like it or he does not like, it raised the general level of discussion."

Mr. Cain political decline was so rapid as its ascent. It started just a month after a likely increase in the polls, driven by the strength of his discussion of performance, innovation and his tax plan and his surprise victory in the Florida straw poll in September.
