Yogi Berra may have passed, but his wisdom still lives on - it ain't over til it's over. March will present a much clearer picture.

Now for a public service announcement:

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

I like Cruz. He may do well in Iowa. Fighting for religious liberty is an important issue.

I know Cruz won the FRC/Value Voters straw vote but statewide tells a different story.
