Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney has tightly tied his message to the economy, but his opponents are increasingly criticizing his past flip-flops on abortion, gay rights and other issues in an effort to derail the candidate who sits atop national opinion polls and a mound of campaign cash.
The criticism likely marks the start of a new phase in the Republican nomination fight at a time when Romney’s main rival, Rick Perry, has lost some of his Texas swagger. The Texas governor shot to the top of Republican presidential polls shortly after he entered the race, only to plummet after a shaky debate performance.
Whatever the cause, it was a more careful Perry who campaigned in leadoff caucus state Iowa over the weekend, trying to get his campaign back on track before Tuesday’s debate in New Hampshire and an Oct. 18 debate in Las Vegas.
