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.

...except for the last two Presidents who will have been in office for a total of 16 years.
I am keeping a close on Iowa because that will help me decide once and for all in regards to either Trump or Cruz.
I doubt it.
but watching the trumpettes melt down would be fun.
That’s what is going on.
Iowa is having a primary?
since when?
Following the heard and not your heart?
It would probably be closer to the truth to say several Iowa voters will decide today who to vote for...My guess is that 80-85% have already made up their minds...
Will they let her still run from Leavenworth????
I meant the Pub side ...
Remember, this is very early for hasty commitments. A lot of caucus attendees are thinking about what message to send to the DC elites instead of just trying to pick a winning candidate.
Iowa is always like this
I doubt that is the case. I believe they enjoy all of the attention. If they are really that inept about knowing their stand on the various political issues, maybe they shouldn’t be voting.
“I haven’t decided” = None of your business.
Rubio might snag 1st because the bomb tossing from both Trump and Cruz camps. Voters might just decide, “they’re both a-holes,” and throw their vote to Rubio. I am a Cruz fan, but this dirty campaigning by both Trump and Cruz hurts us conservatives and gives an opening to the establishment candidate(s).
I think it is just a polite way to tell the media to buzz off.
What type of person waits to the last minute

Yep. Evangelicals tend to react very negatively to the sort of bare knuckle campaign Trump/Cruz did in January. Rubio is working the Evangelical angle very very hard.
I have been thinking the same thing for two days now!!! Who in the heck can change their minds 2or three times???? I mean we have been on this site literally fighting with each other to the death and NO ONE changes their mind !!! Who are these folks that live in Iowa can’t say I would want them running a business if it is that hard to make a decision and stick to it!!!
I find the IA Caucuses to be meaningless. Look at some of the previous winners.
BS..... that is dogma but I don’t believe it
Folks won’t venture out at night on an unknown mission.
