And then they'll have to wipe the floor again cause Santorum is a poor substitute for Mop and Glo.

it doesn't really matter how they fall in this tiny caucas because Romney already has a lock on the nomination.

Did you know there are Democratic caucuses there, too?

I'll leave the Republicans to pick whichever clown they prefer from the clown car.

Iowa doesn't matter.

place for Mitt would open a quick route for securing the nomination. On the other hand, a really weak showing in Iowa might raise enough doubt to damage his performance next week in New Hampshire, and thereby prevent any momentum from developing. The longer the absurd spectacle continues for the Republican nomination the better.

Romney.

Many think that Santorum has been out of the Rethugican/public view for so long, they'll have no ammunition to go after him.
Jeebus, all he has to do is open his mouth to portray his pathetic prowess as a runner up to Perry This leaves Paul and Romney.

This is Romney's opportunity to loose. He certainly has the money behind his coaches. Plus, I think he'll try his best to do a Reagan impression, thus wooing all the doofuses who actually pay attention to these idiots.

Ack!

Tell me he couldn't win in this field.

Who better to claim to be the true heir to Reagan?
