Newt Gingrich greets potential voters in Iowa

I’ve always enjoyed the little moments of recognition that news photographers get to occasionally play with. It’s something you don’t want to overuse as a photojournalist, but every now and then the world needs one of these visual jokes.

    It is sad that Iowan compared Santorum with Romney. Santorum does nto udnerstand much except gays are dogs and that seems to nbe his pre-occupation. If consrvatives want to focus on conservatism instead of solutions, this coutntry will have hard road to travel.

    When gay and abortion are accepted as a core message of Jesus, then it msut be said either Iowan and Santorun have not read the Bible or they do not understand it.

    Fortunately, road ahead is not so blind. Romney will prevail because he has qualification to manage Government, capacity to deal with people and look for solutions.
