Boulder, Colo.
If there’s one thing that’s clear ahead of Wednesday night’s Republican primary debate in Colorado, it’s that the media are gunning for a fight between the two leading GOP candidates.

That was evident from the moment one of those candidates, Ben Carson, entered the press filing room Wednesday afternoon. A scrum of reporters gathered around as the soft-spoken retired neurosurgeon gave brief answers to several questions. Most of them were about his rival Donald Trump, whom Carson overtook in a handful of Iowa polls as well as one recent national poll.
