Iowa...Which GOP candidate will take it?
Long shot, my money is on Rick Perry.

I don't agree regarding Perry. His had plenty of money in his coffers and has come out with a couple of great ads. Against Romney and Obama. He recently added some seasoned political staffers to his campaign. A good move and is setting up feet on the ground in Iowa. I predict Herman will begin dropping in the polls. He has made a coupe of gaffes that he will be remembered for. Bachmann is all but out of the running. We'll see. Herman is indeed "the flavor of the month". I like Cain very much as a person. But Presidential, I don't see that in him. And he has less than a million dollars to play with...hard to run with the big boys without big money. Side: I hope for Paul

plenty of money in his coffers and has come out with a couple of great ads. Against Romney and Obama. He recently added some seasoned political staffers to his campaign correct - I believe his campaign only has one flaw - the candidate. I think Perry had potential, he just isn't prepared for prime time. He has done fairly poorly in the debates, has made many enemies in the Republican establishment (though not as many as Romney), and today he reignited the birther movement (wtf?) I think everything was there for him to be the conservative candidate; he just wasn't ready for the national stage. I predict Herman will begin dropping in the polls. I concur - just not sure about the timing. Now that Nevada moved its primary back to February, Perry probably has a better chance than Cain. I think some of the candidates are actually taking it easy on Cain to preserve the option that he could be their running mate. (just a hunch) Side: I hope for Paul
I agree with you about Herman Cain in that he shall soon begin dropping. His rise was rather bizarre, considering he isn't even a politician. Bachmann is too much like Palin, so she won't get the vote of anybody who can think. Perry, though, doesn't do too well. Only 2.8% in the Ohio Straw Poll, to Ron Paul's 53.5% and Herman Cain's 25.5%. I think if Ron Paul's countless supporters continue spreading the Message far and wide, he'll continue to rise in popularity. Then there is Mitt Romney, who seems to be getting a lot of the "negative" news stories because they seem him as the only real threat to Obama's presidency, and completely ignore Ron Paul who routinely amasses only 1-3% less of the vote than Obama in polls in which the two are faced off. Side: I hope for Paul

I agree that Perry probably won't win the general, but think it may go back and forth between him and Cain and that he may have a chance of winning Iowa. I support Obama in the end, but I still want Ron Paul to be at the table because some of his ideas have merit, but just go away when he isn't there (like an audit of the Federal Reserve). Side: I hope for Paul
