USA Today writer Catalina Camia covers the latest debate of the republican party for the 2012 presidential election. Catalina elaborates on and points out some key things that are significant to the GOP debate held in Iowa on Saturday, December 11, 2011.
The question(s) or problems addressed in this debate were:
Can Newt Gingrich keep his cool?
How hard will Mitt Romney swing?
Does Ron Paul make his move?
Can Rick Perry recover?
Will Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum stir things up?

Results and conclusions that may affect public policy were:
Newt Gingrich has made mistakes, which is well and fine as an ordinary person but may not sit, well with the voters, as a leader. It also seems as if Michele Bachmann is lacking behind in the polls and I sense some sort of childish animosity she has toward her competition.

New Information about the republican canidates I learned in this article:
Gingrich is winning the republican race
Rick Santourm is now fighting to stay in the republican race

I could use this information
To better understand the whole political process in choosing a leader. I also could use it to get a more detailed opinion of the republican party and their views on certain subjects.

The author of the article;
Seems to be very critique of each of the canidates. I can tell she isn't a republican but also isn't a biased democrat.
