Mason Ohio, Boise Idaho and Atlanta Georgia.

In today's ongoing tug of war for the top dog in the Republican Primaries the people of Ohio will be wondering today if Rick Santorum really is the little engine that could as he chugs along picking up points in the National Polls.

Mason Ohio, where he will speaking this evening, owns the reputation to being one of the top places to live in America according to Money Magazine. Mason came in 24th in their 2011 Best Place to Live List. Nice if you like living up north vs down where it's warmer. Perhaps, if the winters were not as harsh it would have even broken the top ten list...though that's just my perspective as Mason seems a little too cold for a Miami girl.

You can read why here below, though most people are most curious about why the Eiffle Tower shows up in a Google image search of a small town outside Cincinnati. Hint: It's part of their King's Island Resort that is a great place to be in the middle of summer. It's a little chilly today in Mason, not bad for winter as this has been a mild winter as winters go and it's going fast.

Mitt Romney who is still in the top dog seat in Arizona is campaigning today in Idaho where he is having a public event, as well as another fundraiser in Boise.

He will be appearing at the boxy looking building in the middle with the square windows, seriously a beautiful place to be in the Fall and why it's not added to the list of places to visit vs New England and other places I don't know...because Boise at times can be beautiful as the picture above shows.

Later in the day at 1:45 pm Romney will host a rare free rally on the road that is open to the public. Guerdon Enterprises makes modular homes.

Newt raised over 2 Million dollars yesterday in L.A. Money wise it was a good day for him, while he fundraises his daughters have been out on the morning talk shows talking for him and doing a good job at that. He is speaking and fundraising back home in Georgia today. His public event, after the special donor dinner, is at 7:30 pm.

Newt Gingrich 7:30 PM

Hosting campaign rally

500 Aviation Drive, Peachtree City, Ga.

To put that amount that Newt Gingrich raised in L.A. after his fundraisers in perspective, Romney is about to unleash 2 Million Dollars in commercials to attack Rick Santorum whose budget for TV ads is about $50,000.

I'm beginning to wonder over and over if Rick Santorum is able to hold his own with his limited budget, perhaps we should let him work on the U.S. Budget.

Either way he has been pulling larger and larger crowds wherever he appears. Let's see if he can keep up the momentum after Romney unleashes his beast of $2,000,000 worth of TV ads against him.
