THE DAY AFTER POLITICAL ANALYSIS CALLS THE ABC NEWS IOWA REPUBLICAN DEBATE FOR GINGRICH...........

Overnight, Sunday morning, and Evening News, broadcasts analyzing the political result of last night's Republican Presidential Debate, are in virtual agreement, that the current GOP frontrunner former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich of Georgia, was the victor.  Gingrich is credited with remaining calm, under attacks from Mitt Romney, and the other four candidates in the debate.  His ability to give back as good as he got, yet remaining the adult, mature, and above the fray, frontrunner; and his effective rejoinder to Romney's career politician criticism of him, and Romney's over the top offer of a $10,000 bet with Rick Perry, over an issue dispute, are cited as examples of how former Governor Romney failed to, "blunt", Gingrich's momentum and support.  With twenty three days and counting, before the Iowa Caucuses, time is running out to displace Gingrich as the frontrunning and leading candidate for the 2012 Republican Presidential Nomination.  Whether Romney's intensive media and surrogate, as well as personal, offensive, criticizing Newt Gingrich's record and leadership, or Ron Paul, Michelle Bachman, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry, can breakthrough anew, the days and money spent, will tell...........Fr.  Troy
