Rove SuperPAC Spending Millions To Attack Elizabeth Warren

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 THE BIG STORY One Week Before Iowa, Newt Is Already Looking Toward Ohio Among "Anybody but Romney" Republicans in a key conservative region of Ohio, Newt Gingrich has been picking up support as an alternative to the former Massachusetts governor. The former House speaker has moved to the top in recent polling in Ohio, just as Republican presidential candidates prepare for the Jan. 3 caucuses in Iowa, followed closely by the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. Ohio's presidential primary is scheduled for March 6 -- one of the biggest prizes for Republicans among about a dozen states voting on "Super Tuesday."
