So this of the NYT caucus site: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/...
I am convinced that he will win in the heavily conservative Iowa. I know he has no money - although who had the most money the last time around for the dems in Iowa?
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was the runaway winner with 64 percent of the vote, raising anew the question of whether Christian conservative leaders and voters might be able to coalesce around him as a longshot candidate and propel him to the first tier in the Republican race.
The rest of the pack: Rep. Ron Paul, of Texas, 12 percent; Alan Keyes, who made his debut as a candidate at the debate, 5 percent, Senator Sam Brownback, 5 percent; Rep. Duncan Hunter 4 percent; Fred D. Thompson, 4 percent; Rep. Tom Tancredo, 2 percent; Rudolph W. Giuliani 1 percent, Senator John McCain and John Cox, 1 percent; Mr. Romney, 0 percent.
Here's the thing. He did very well in the Ames straw poll despite not spending as much as Brownback. And I really think that Romney's support is super soft. So if he wins Iowa, can he win in the Libertarian leaning New Hampshire? I mean, I think that South Carolina is a lock for him too. The question is, can he win the nomination despite his populist stance? I think the answer is yes. And he scares me as a candidate, but I like him as a person. Anyone hear him on wait wait, dont tell me?
