It wasn't complicated
-- How a Georgia woman summed up the 13-year extramarital relationship she said Cain carried out with her. He denied it but soon quit the race. ___ Open marriage -- What one of Gingrich's ex-wives said he had sought from her. He denied her story and said the media was bringing up "trash." ___ Baggage -- Gingrich's political and personal past began to weigh him down when pro-Romney ads jeered, "Newt has more baggage than the airlines." ___ Airtight kennel -- Where Mitt Romney said his dog used to love to travel, strapped to the top of the family car. ___ The dangers of contraception -- Rick Santorum said he would warn the nation as president. Democrats warned women about him. ___ A couple of Cadillacs -- What Romney said his wife drives, provoking another round of jokes about his wealth. ___ $2.50 per gallon -- Gingrich pinned his comeback hopes on the nation's thirst for low-cost gasoline. ___ Phony theology -- The basis of Barack Obama's environmental policies, Santorum said. ___ Etch A Sketch -- Romney can shake off the primaries and start the fall campaign like a clean Etch a Sketch, his spokesman said, to the delight of rivals who ridiculed the candidate as a pretend conservative. ___ Swiss bank account -- Romney's history of offshore banking became another symbol of his personal riches. While other factoids fade, this one may linger, thanks to an Obama campaign eager to keep it in voters' minds until the November election.
