The Republican Party candidates’ debate in Ames, Iowa was held on an aired show. The first big GOP debate of the primary season brought viewers a flurry of claims and counterclaims, not all built on solid ground. In the most combative encounter of the 2012 contest, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty and other mid-tier candidates mixed up repeatedly over their records and positions on the economy and other issues in a televised debate Thursday night. Republican front-runner Mitt Romney says he would have supported a plan by congressional Republicans to cut spending and force a vote on a federal balanced budget amendment to address the nation’s debt crisis.
The former Massachusetts governor was asked how he would have handled the debt as a large field of Republicans gathered in the leadoff assembly state of Iowa. Early questions focused on the economy, the key issue in the presidential campaign. Presumptive front-runner Mitt Romney was able to steer clear of the most controversial exchanges, though he was forced to defend his jobs record as governor of Massachusetts and in private business, as well as his state’s healthcare plan. A large field of Republicans is looking forward to challenge President Barack Obama at the President Election next year.
