A week before Iowans met to caucus in 2012, polling suggested a slight lead for Ron Paul over Mitt Romney in the state. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, who had been all over the state talking to voters, was in the single digits.

Nonsense. These self indulgent frauds just want the attention given to the so-called “undecided.”
Please let them vote for Hillary so they can go down as the first to vote for a phony African American and the first to vote for a candidate removed by indictment.
But look at the crowds....It sure looks like Trump and Sanders....or don't you believe your own eyes.
The media is pushing this meme. I am starting to think this is a cheat set up to get the establishment boy Rubio to the top.
I heard that. People interviewed over the weekend who had still not decided.
I’m sorry, but if after ALL of this you STILL haven’t made up your mind, you have no business showing up.
Don’t be surprised if Rubio comes in 1st or 2nd tonight. Rubio is a slick talker and he has been working the Evangelical vote hard. Evangelical voters relibably turn up Caucus night.
Has anyone seen this headline:
“Large Crowds at Trump Events Reflect Voter Enthusiasm”???
Well another way to look at this is anyone this disinterested to not know who they will vote for by now probably is not interested enough to show up tonight.
Riding a fence that long must hurt.
The population of Iowa is 3.1 million.
Record caucus turnout for GOP: 120,000
Record caucus turnout for DEM: 240,000
I watched the Iowa caucuses online in 2008 and several difference precincts in different towns were shown live throughout the night..
at one they had people stand at the front of the room and pitch for their chosen guy...
One spoke about FRed Thompson, another for Ron Paul, McCain, Huckabee, etc..
only Congressman Duncan Hunter seemed to have nobody endorsing him....
I was appalled that nobody felt Hunter was a worthwhile choice ...
anyhoo at another precinct they were gathered in groups around the large room, this corner the Paulites, that other the McCains and so on..
then they just counted the heads or did paper ballots to be turned in..
the important part is they have to show up to vote at that particular time....and on time..
There are likely to be more than a few who change their mind too.
Nothing about the Iowa Primary represents what actual voters want. It represents who operatives willing to spend endless time and emotional energy shill for.
I predict:
Trump over Cruz by 7 points in Iowa.
>>> Keep in mind: Many Iowans won’t decide until today whom to vote for <<<
‘English as a second language’ wins again.
If they didn’t have their minds made up weeks ago, they’re throwing away their votes. It’s legal but it’s STUPID.
Maybe there are those who are not sure up until the step into the front entrance.
I don’t believe anyone is really undecided unless they’ve lived in a cave, under a rock, or in a treehouse for the last 7 months.
