The Iowa caucuses have a history of propelling late surge candidates in presidential races. Will there be a 2016 dark horse?
If the Iowa caucuses were held today, notable Iowa radio host Steve Deace believes Ted Cruz or Ben Carson would emerge victorious on the Republican side while Bernie Sanders would capture the coveted race for Democrats.
Deace called the track record of polling in the race "a joke," saying the outcome depends on the organization and effectiveness of the candidate's ground game. The Iowa Caucus has produced many surprise winners over the years who have benefited from a late surge.

Hmmmmm, could Scott Walker re-emerge as the dark horse?

Might be a revival of Chris Christie.
Remember, a candidate doesn’t necessarily need to ‘win’ in Iowa to get a big boost.
They’re already touting Christie’s comeback, makes me sick.
Iowa Gov. Branstad was touting Christie unofficially a year ago, and some of his organization that previously supported Walker have been public in their switch to a revived Christie campaign.
I’d keep my eyes on Lindsey. He tends to come from behind.
I saw an article stating that Gov. Branstad wants Syrian “refugees” to move to Iowa, that it would be good if the Federal gov. checks them out. Good for what? He seems out of touch with reality.
