Romney Heads Into Primaries With Slim Iowa Lead 
------------------------------------------------



Republican candidates are entering their final weekend of campaigning
before Tuesday's Iowa caucus selects the first winner of the primary
season. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is holding a slim lead
in the polls. On Thursday, Romney continued his attacks on President
Obama.

Mitt Romney: "The president says he wants to fundamentally transform
America. I don't want to transform America into something else. I want
to restore the principals our founders, our patriots, that they
recognize. I don't want to become Europe. Europe isn't working in
Europe. I don't want Europe to be here."
