24% in iowa for romney. 29% for cain. 12% for ron paul. 10% gingrich and 10% perry. maggie, perry is supposed to be running first or second in iowa if he has any chance at the presidency. this is a real problem for perry. romney has a path because the social conservatives in iowa have not coesed around anyone. this is ultimately going to be a hunl issue. i think i you are going to see some movement because rick perry is showing some sign of a pulse and attacking romney aggressively. he is saying he may not attend the large number of debates that are going forward. he will play by his own rules. if rick perry doesn t come in first or second and ahead of realliny he is done. i want you to listen to how jon stewart summarized herman cain s flip flopping. here s herman cain explaining
contenders like this start off ragged and you can watch the candidates grow up a bit. if there s senators involved like last time with chris dodd and joe biden you had to watch them get used to a different kind of stage and then there s always some flaky candidate on the edge. sure. and you watch them either gel in to something that makes a little more sense or the flaky ones just fall apart. that s not happening here. no. it s really interesting actually. there is no real lower tier here where you can see people as the nominee. last time in both parties you had people across the board who you could see on the nominee. one on the lower side ended up the vice president. this is a very different field we are looking at. it is partly entertainment. this is the whatever candidacy. he gets people o angry people say herman cain is serious why would they say he is serious there is little evidence of a
