To try and find some answers, we’re starting a recurring “Will They Run?” feature. We’ll look at three variables:

1.What the person has said about running. If candidates say they are definitely running, they get a 5. If they say they are exploring or seriously considering a run, they get a 4. If they are unsure, they get a 3. If they haven’t ruled it out but are leaning toward no, they get a 2. If they say they aren’t running, they get a 1.

2.How many events — rallies, fundraisers, political meetings, etc. — they have held in Iowa and New Hampshire (the “early states”).

3.How many national primary polls they have been included in.
