As president, are you concerned about the cost of higher education? What role would college students play in your plan for America? Despite sharp differences in name recognition and publicity, the candidates voiced similar messages on the issues of education and Iraq. But as candidates reach a crucial campaign point of differentiation, the distinctions in Romney and Huckabee’s identities may be in the details.
