The debate starts off by digging into Mitt Romney's record, in particular, referencing a pro-Newt Gingrich ad slamming Romney's tenure at Bain capital. Gingrich sidesteps addressing the ad--claiming he hasn't seen it, but he read a New York Times article about it. Mitt Romney is not surprised that The New York Times or President Obama would question free enterprise, but he's shocked to have such questions coming from his fellow Republicans.Related searches:

The Iowa caucuses are an electoral event in which residents of the U.S. state of Iowa meet in precinct caucuses in all of Iowa's 1,774 precincts and elect delegates to the corresponding county conventions. There are 99 counties in Iowa and thus 99 conventions.
