When all the choices are either crooks or crazies...
Walker is leading a crowded field of potential presidential candidates in Iowa with 25% of likely Republican caucus-goers throwing their support to Walker in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday. The Iowa caucus will be the first test for presidential hopefuls and while the last two GOP winners didn't get far in the primary process, the caucus is a crucial test of conservative credentials and can help signal some candidates off the campaign trail.

Libertarian favorite Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky came in second in the poll with 13% of support while former Gov. Mike Huckabee, the 2008 caucus winner, and Tea Party darling Ben Carson closely followed with 11% each.

Walker also topped the list of second picks, with 13% listing Walker as their second choice.

There's still time for the voters to wake up.

I hope.

the primary season is actually a pretty good vetting mechanism. especially on the GOP side.

the field last time was whittled down one crazy at a time, and i am pretty confident that the same will happen this time.

In a field of donkeys even a nag can win the race.

That's true in Iowa anyway. It seems to me Michelle Bachmann won there last silly season.
