cycles, the ground zero for a whole lot of retail campaigning. 2011 was an unusual year in the sense that that phase didn t begin till very late in the year. debates drove this process. now division ads to a considerable degree. we have candidates all over the state, town hall with santorum, mitt romney is coming back today and everybody will be blan eting for the last minute turnout push. i think as peter said a moment ago, the fact thaw might have the potential for a decent turnout because the weather is going to be so mild is good for a candidate whose support is broad but not particularly deep. david, let s go ahead and bring you in here. what are your thoughts on all this? which candidates do you feel are most buzzed about at this point and maybe the least? well, certainly lots of attention paid to mitt romney and ron paul because they re duking it out at the head of the polls. i would say the buzziest candidate is rick santorum
