Unfortunately for Santorum, Google responded to his request with a resounding “Nope,” and the alternate definition remains the top search result for both “santorum” and “Rick Santorum.” Santorum, for one, believes there’s a double standard at play in Google’s http://politicalyptus.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-hampshire-debate-romneys-record-of.htmlDebateIowa Caucusnoreply@blogger.com (admin)Sun, 8 Jan 2012 04:25:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519374393580257613.post-8889512780880214918 The debate starts off by digging into Mitt Romney's record, in particular, referencing a pro-Newt Gingrich ad slamming Romney's tenure at Bain capital. Gingrich sidesteps addressing the ad--claiming he hasn't seen it, but he read a New York Times article about it.

About the worst of it came early, when Romney was questioned about his involvement in laying off workers at companies acquired by Bain Capital, a private equity firm he steered.

The former Massachusett's governor is questioned about his stance on the Supreme Court's decision that the constitution gives a right to privacy--particularly with regards to the right to buy contraception.
