Introduction

Welcome to the Caucus Cooler. This blog is designed to give Republicans an insiders perspective on the Iowa Caucus. We'll have news, rumors, innuendo and all of the GOP gossip you can handle. The cooler will be the first place you find information on Presidential Candidates visits to the Hawkeye State, hirings and firings on Republican campaigns, and news on who's hot and who's not in and around the Iowa GOP.

We encourage your comments, insights, and scoop to keep us on the cutting edge. Email us at caucuscoolertipjar@gmail.com with tips from your campaign or an update on what you've been hearing around the campaign trail. We'll empty out the tipjar every Friday- with all tips remaining anonymous.

Look to the Cooler for daily updates, lots of content and news you won't find anywhere else.

On the sidebar you'll find the signature "Cooler Line." The line will be updated regularly as the dynamics change on the ground in Iowa. The line will reflect how likely each candidate is to win the Iowa Caucus at any point in time. The Cooler Line is determined by the opinions of the insiders here at the Cooler Staff and we want to hear your comments about where each candidate is placed.

With the Republican nomination fight as unpredictable as it has ever been, you can expect a lot of fireworks. We can't wait to discuss it with you- around the Caucus Cooler.
