Giffords to Attend Tucson Shooting Commemoration
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and other survivors of the January 8 shooting in Tucson, Arizona will gather “to commemorate the one-year mark of that tragic day and remember those who died,” according to the AP.
“The events planned include a community-wide ringing of bells at churches and by people throughout the city at 10:11 a.m., the exact time the shooting broke out, an interfaith service at St. Augustine Cathedral where people of all religions are invited to pray and reflect, and a series of talks reflecting the lives of Giffords and the six people killed in the shooting.”
Romney Edges Ahead in Iowa
A new NBC News-Marist poll in Iowa shows Mitt Romney edging Ron Paul, 23% to 21%.
They are followed by Rick Santorum at 15%, Rick Perry at 14%, Newt Gingrich at 13% and Michele Bachmann at 6%.
Said pollster Lee Miringoff: “This is the Romney dream scenario. When you look at the Tea Party and conservatives, they are all splintered.”
