Pawlenty vs. Romney: Round one is a knockout

Iowa leads the nation in the production of corn, a main input into the production of ethanol. It also holds the first presidential caucus, and is very influential. What do you think a politician would say to Iowans?

ROMNEY: “I support the subsidy of ethanol,” he told an Iowa voter. “I believe ethanol is an important part of our energy solution for this country.”

PAWLENTY: the federal government’s subsidies of ethanol were bad policy that we can no longer afford.
