After the first-in-the-nation Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary appeared to establish former Gov. Mitt Romney as the clear frontrunner in the race for the Republican nomination, former Speaker Newt Gingrich's strong win in the January 21 first-in-the-South South Carolina primary has shaken up the race.  The January 31 Florida primary looms large. The Romney campaign is very well organized in the Sunshine State, the Gingrich campaign will have to scramble, the Santorum campaign faces a daunting challenge, and the Paul campaign appears focused on later contests. After Florida comes a succession of primaries and caucuses over the next several months. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's re-elect campaign has developed a large and very sophisticated operation. Looking to the fall, the prospect of a credible third party candidate or candidates remains; Americans Elect is working on ballot access. The slow-to-recover economy looms as the major issue.
