What would Romney cut? Overheard conversation holds clues

In a talk with Florida donors, he singles out the Housing and Education departments but says he isn't ready to share specifics with voters.

Newt Gingrich lost the Florida primary to Mitt Romney, after initially leading in the polls after his South Carolina win. Gingrich’s numbers spiraled down soon afterwards. Romney had been favored to not just win in Floriday but also by a large margin, so his victory is not surprising.

Romney, Perry and Cain Open Wide Financial Lead Over Field

A stark financial divide is opening up between two groups of Republican candidates for president, with the top candidates together bringing in tens of millions of dollars in their bids for the presidency and a second tier struggling to attract major donors and in some cases even crack the million-dollar mark.

Senh: Is it even fair when your opponents have a lot more money to spend on their campaigns? Have we ever tried either giving candidates to same amount of money to spend or limiting it? Whoever has the most money has a huge advantage.
