So, if you're moderating a debate, it's Mr. Gingrich, Mr. Romney, Senator Santorum, and Congressman or Representative Paul, depending on which he prefers.
Gingrich was a member of the House, so why not congressman or representative Gingrich?
That rule (only one office holder at a time) seems debatable. There is only one governor of a particular state, but there are 57 states, so there is technically more than one governor at a time. You could conversely argue that each district has only one congressperson at a time, so they shouldn't retain the title.
I think they should all be addressed as "President Wannabee" or "Vote Whore." But that's just my opinion.
Yes, the 57 states was a deliberate error.
