Gingrich calls For Debates With Obama - the Republican candidate who stands to benefit the most from the latest Cain campaign revelations, thrilled the crowd in Iowa. In a speech yesterday to mostly Republican leaders across the state of Iowa, Gingrich highlighted his experience as former House Speaker and called for seven three hour debates with President Obama if he wins the Republican nomination.

Stay Tuned...
