Pawlenty drop gloves at Iowa debate |
Sparring Bachmann, Pawlenty drop gloves at Iowa debate

US Republicans Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty clashed repeatedly over their records during a presidential debate on Thursday, two days before they vie for conservative support in a straw poll that could make or break their campaigns.
The fierce exchanges between the two Minnesotans highlighted a nationally televised presidential debate that also featured heavy criticism of President Barack Obama's economic leadership by eight Republican White House hopefuls.
The debate was the opening act for Saturday's Iowa straw poll, a traditional test of campaign strength in the state that holds the first presidential nominating contest in 2012.
But the debate and straw poll were overshadowed by Texas Governor Rick Perry's plan to enter the race on Saturday, a move that could dramatically reshape the contest and vault him into the top tier of contenders with front-runner Mitt Romney.
