The complete TMR caucus list just published named 25 hopefuls.
Of those, 12 remain alive for the caucuses, although some only in the purely techincal sense. As a practical matter, six are cyrogenic. None actively campaigned. Among them, only Huntsman is accorded a chance of scoring as much as 5 per cent. Johnson might eke out 1 per cent. The aggregate vote for these men should not materially affect the chances of any of the viable candidates.
John Davis
Jon Huntsman
Gary Johnson
Fred Karger
Roy Moore
Buddy Roemer

The tepid. Any one of them might break out into the hot class over the remaining 17 days. Short of Venus melting right into Mars, however, none of them will head for New Hampshire with a braggable Iowa record.
Michele Bachman
Rick Perry
Rick Santorum

Leaving the hotties
Newt Gingrich
Ron Paul
Mitt Romney

These lists are alphabetical. I'm not ready to handicap horses (whole or partial) yet, just as I would be scared witless to bet on the number of hours the next Kardashian marriage will endure.
