Im fredricka whitfield. An incredibly feisty republican president ial race. Today no fewer than six dates are attending the faith and Freedom Forum in plano, texas.

These six candidates will be here to make their case to evangelical voters, to christian conservatives or, more broadly, social conservatives who are a part of the republican electorate. Important in states like iowa and South Car
