ROMNEY, SANTORUM, PAUL, GINGRICH, HUNTSMAN, ONWARD TO THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY WEEK............

Following Mitt Romney's 8 vote cliffhanger win over Rick Santorum in the Iowa Caucuses last night, Michelle Bachman's suspension of her campaign this morning, and Rick Perry's Tweeting himself back onto the trail in South Carolina, passing over New Hampshire, the five other remaining Republican aspirants have moved on to the intense, fast and furious, six day Primary campaign in New Hampshire.  There Romney is heavily favored to win, but will face intensely fierce competition from not only Santorum and Paul, Iowa's second and third place place votegetters; but that of an angry Newt Gingrich, and an all's in determined, Jon Huntsman.  Gingrich's full page New Hampshire newspaper ad, and 2008 Republican nominee John McCain's strident, all out, endorsement of Mitt Romney today, are just the blast-off to the knock down, virtually no holes barred, non-stop,  several days underway.  And it will include two more Candidate debates, on ABC News this Saturday night and on NBC News 'Meet The Press'. on Sunday.  Fasten your seatbelts for a uproarious and upending, way forward to New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, and beyond............Fr.  Troy
