John Davis, already a winner; Iowa Caucuses 2012

In the TMR tally of candidate cliches, John Davis of Grand Junction,  BackSlope, is the hands-down champion. No other statesman/woman competing for Iowans' attention has a prayer of closing the gap.

Among his revelations: "My family has lived in this town for six generations and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. " (That's also the site of his entry in the cliche contest.)


Which is misleading.  He clearly can imagine moving to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, a long slog from his Colorado lumber yard.


That's how he has earned a place on your newly updated, handy-dandy, list of  GOP luminaries  practicing to say aww shucks and you bet.


He brings the total back to 19, and let it be added that there's no reason to think a lumber yard guy would do a worse job of running the country than a neighborhood organizer.
