Topic: Romney criticizing Paul
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and ASHLEY PARKER
Romney and Paul are the two ahead in the polls in Iowa as of now, with only 6 days till the Iowa caucus. Gingrich has fallen behind because of negative advertisements and both Romney and Paul have benefited from his decline While Gingrich is trying to win his support back, both Romney and Paul are jabbing at each other. Bachmann and Perry had already criticized Paul’s foreign policy and Romney comes at it at full force. Paul’s foreign policy includes pulling out of Afghanistan, avoiding conflict with Iran and other countries and also cutting foreign aid. Romney criticizes Paul while speaking to Muscatine, Iowa and saying that he is “ O.K. with Iran having a nuclear weapon”. Paul does not back down and fires back with the question of why we still have troops in South Korea. While Paul and Romney are not directly attacking each other because of frantically traveling all over the state, there is till some tension between them. Both have not said anything about their expectations about the caucus. They probably don’t want to jinx themselves or maybe it is just too hard to tell because of how candidates rise and fall within a very short amount of time. All candidates are watching each other’s moves and looking for any one thing to point out that could make another fall. Romney feels as if he is going to get support from Iowa, but who really knows what’s going to happen. Only a few more days till the day all of these candidates have been waiting for. Iowa, I hope you’re ready!
