So far, it is simple. No one is officially running for the Iowa caucuses nod to be a White House candidate. Then again, it is complicated, because every self-styled political celebrity who ever looked in a mirror and said "Hi Mr. (Ms.) President" is sniffing around, looking for a hay bale to sit on and go "Aww Shucks" to us.
The TMR contribution to this operation begins with a baby step. Six Democrats score a point or better in the major polls. They're listed below, just the facts ma'am. Changes galore can be expected.
I'm starting with Democrats because they are usually the major enemy of liberty. I'll get around to the Republicans before long. Know thy most important enemy.
Of the six, all have either been here recently or have organizations in place. They do a little retail demagoguery, but the immediate goals is to endorse and throw money at state-level politicians in hopes of getting a helping hand when the caucus campaigns take off.
