One month out, I have no idea what will happen in Iowa. Neither does anyone else, really. But I certainly can see the possibility of a big Ron Paul surge, especially if he places either first or second in Iowa. That alone would shake the race up considerably.
Iowa is a very, very strange place. They grow corn and presidents and the crops are inconsistent in terms of quality. And there are dynamics that can help Rick Perry.
"Mitt, it's nearly 11:30 and I need to start making your lunch." "Thanks, my dearest, but I think I'll have lunch at noon." "But you always have lun...
Let's take a closer look at the first two primary states, as the electorate in Iowa and New Hampshire isn't quite the same as the national GOP primary base.

Fear never goes out of fashion. Once again Republicans are dealing in fear instead of facts, and why not? It's worked in the past, and a that's nation locked in seemingly permanent recession and high unemployment may be in the market for some scapegoats.
New Hampshire is once again taking its place as one of the two bell weathers of politics as the 2012 Presidential Race starts to heat up; especially o...
You can be a lot of things when you run for president -- slippery with your facts, loose with your zipper, overindulgent with the booze most of your adult life or in possession of a thin resume -- but you can't be weak.
Mary Matalin and Ron Reagan discuss why Romney isn't doing better and whether Palin could do any worse. Plus there's strong disagreement over global warming and Germany's nuclear punt.
