1. Iowans aren't paying attention

I know we are all on pens and needles, but I think more Iowans really aren't paying attention, and the polling is just reflecting name recognition. Except Fallon seems to be moving up a bit. Here's hoping that the publicity our candidates get during the now 3-way primary will help with name recognition. The Judge announcement should help draw some attention to Culver.

2. I agree

I think there will be more ads and meetings and such starting after the County Conventions. Also, the Iowa Fed. convention is in late March, I'm sure their blessing is coveted by all remaining candidates.

Late March/early April will be the start of the hard-core campaign season.
