The Cooler line is an exclusive creation of Caucus Cooler and will be updated as the political environment changes.
It is an unscientific assessment of the Iowa Caucus (not the Presidential race as a whole) from an insiders view at the given time. The line IS NOW mathematically accurate but is NOT intended for gambling purposes. Information may only be reproduced with credit to the Caucus Cooler.

Brownback is pro-amnesty.
Like people have said before, there's no perfect candidate. People will attack Brownback because of his compassion, no doubt about it.
Still, he's better than just about everyone else.
I'd rather have a candidate that is right on all the issues and not wishy washy on one like Browbback is on Amnesty. Mitt has taken a winding road to get where he is, but he is at the right spot now. It took Reagan years to get where he was on many issues, and we as Republicans and Conservatives hold him in the highest light.
Mitt is the best man for the job.
No candidate will consolidate the SoCo base. Some with be with McCain as frontrunner. Some will be with Romney as the more conservative alternative to McCain who can raise enough money to win. Some will end up with Brownback and Huckabee. Others will wait for Newt.
The days of a candidate who can really coalesce them are past. They are integrated into the political landscape now, with pre-existing relationships and an increasing notion of "electability", momentum, frontrunnership, etc.
Now it's just who you think is the least of all the "evils." Still, I do like Brownback very much and think that he and the southern guy are the best Republican candidates out there right now.
Well said Huckabee staffer.
Southern Guy, hmph!
Brownback is WRONG on amnesty for illegals, WRONG on wanting to give illegals Social Security and WRONG on wanting "Guest workers."
Three strikes. He's out.
Huckabee is pro-criminal as well as pro-illegal. He's a non-starter, too.
Brownback is a great guy. We are personal friends and nobody exceeds his integrity, but he is simply wrong on the greatest economic and national security issue of the day - Border control and dealing with illegals.
