How about if he's on the 2016 ticket as VP with a serious conservative running for president?

Iowa Republicans are an odd breed of cat. Founded in the depths of populism and Progressivism, many of them are more radical than even their Democrat counterparts, and knowing their ability to shift public perceptions early on, they tend to skew the presidential preferential selection process by not taking a poll of at least a sliver of the voters, but by meeting in caucus without an actual campaign ever being conducted. Which is one of the reasons the Iowa caucus results are so widely variant with those of New Hampshire, where there actually IS an election of sorts.

The Iowa caucus is an exercise in futility, if the objective is to get an early feel for the relative popularity of one candidate over another. Most straw polls are more accurate.
