Yeah, 3 dogs and a cat.
I think that the importance of Iowa for the GOP is passing into the footnotes of political history.
Florida will tell the early tale this time around.
Rudy is wise to bet everything on it.
Respectully I must disagree with you on the value of Iowa and New Hampshire. I think rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated. Along with South Carolina, I think they will essentially decide the real alternative to Rudy for the GOP.
Though I do agree with your remarks about Rudy’s support. I doubt a lot of conservatives are flocking to him for the primary. Granted, if he is the nominee he will have my vote, but in primary season he is rather low on my choice list.
I will not support Rudy at the caucus but he's running a very effective campaign. His 12 Commitments to the American People are brilliant and specific--much like the Contract with America of Newt's.
Romney is also running a good campaign. He's staying focused in spite of the attacks.
