I already summarized the Republican presidential candidates a few weeks ago. With the Iowa caucuses (and liberation from the endless, mindless TV campaign ads) a mere one week away, let me now quickly summarize the various candidate campaign strategies:
For all those not named Ron Paul or Mitt Romney or John Huntsman: Watch the news (easier than reading it) and simply say you are against everything that's currently happening.
For Ron Paul: Just keep saying extreme liberatarian things to win the youth vote.
For Mitt Romney and John Huntsman: Just say nothing. That passes for a moderate view in this group, and while it may not serve them well in Iowa, it's makes them look presidential in comparison.
That's it. I told you it was simple.
When it comes to the Republican party, the Iowa caucuses don't help the party find a nominee, they help the party realize who NOT to nominate - specifically anyone who panders to the social conservative base that the electorate eventually rejects.
