December 13, 2011Erik Kain

Jon Huntsman’s path to the nomination is built on the front-runners in the race tearing each other to pieces. Will it work? Daniel Larison calls the recent one-on-one foreign policy debate between Jon Huntsman and Newt Gingrich a self-congratulatory failure barely worthy of the term ‘debate:’ To the extent that Huntsman has helped lend valuable credibility […]

November 29, 2011Erik Kain

Republican candidate Hermain Cain told reporters Tuesday he was reassessing his campaign. Could the race come down to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney?
