Cruz's campaign reps in state's 99 counties are using behavioral data to make personal calls to voters

Trump's camp is counting on a surge of new caucus participants with little experience

Sen. Ted Cruz's leading Iowa supporters say his get-out-the-vote operation is the best they have seen for a presidential campaign here. He had better hope they are right.

With his monthlong lead in the polls erased, Cruz's hopes for pulling out a much-needed victory over Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses on Monday now rest in the hands of thousands of campaign workers and supporters who are spending this weekend telephoning, emailing and knocking on the doors of likely caucusgoers.

Problem with Cruz’s scientific approach is that it’s soulless and doomed to backfire. Even Drudge is labeling Cruz’s mailer-gate thing “Dirty Tricks.”

As long as it gets the voters to the polls, it’s all good.
