Chicago Tribune:
As Democrats compete furiously for support throughout the nation's first presidential contest state, most Republican contenders have been bypassing Iowa, eschewing the meet-and-greet retail politics that have been the state's hallmark and putting at risk its claim for relevancy in the nominating process.
When Mike Huckabee delivered a speech on health care in Des Moines on Dec. 3, it was his first trip to Iowa in almost a month. When Mitt Romney held a town-hall-style meeting in Cedar Rapids on Nov. 30, it ended a stretch of 10 days without an appearance in Iowa. And those two are the GOP front-runners in Iowa's Jan. 3 caucuses.
