The Cooler Line

Mitt Romney 3-1
Fred Thompson 9-1
John McCain 9-1
Rudy Giuliani 12-1

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.

Rut Ro Rorge.
Rudy's a two-face and he doesn't even do a good job of it.

Rudy is sounding more like Romney every day! A couple of liberal whiners. They need to take notes from McCain, the real leader.
Rudy - too liberal
Romney - too liberal
Brownback - long, long shot
Huckabee - bible-banging Baptist nut
T Thompson - Green Bay Packers
Newt - womanizing cheat w/ baggage
Tancredo - RUN! MEXICANS!
Hunter - whatever...
Hagel - turncoat bastard
MCCAIN - the real choice for Americans who run from the left and loathe the far right (70% of voters).
Didn't I see Romney had cheaters at one of the straw poll events? Is this true?
Romney cheats, and McCain still wins. Oh my...
1:30,
Go to hell!
Looks like someone is having a bad day. [COUGH] 1:52 [COUGH]
Everyone but me and my supporters will be having a bad day when I dominate the straw poll and caucus!
You will all be due for a time-out. Join me and succeed!
Someone told me Huckabee dropped out of the race. That can't be true - is it?
I haven't heard that, but he should do what's best for the party and pursue the Senate seat in Arkansas. He's not going anywhere (literally and figuratively - when's the last time he was here?), and has a great shot at winning that seat.
Huckabee would be an outstanding Senator! And with his style his seat will be safe for decades! And he gets to push his message at a national level!
1:30...
Romney's no idiot. He's one of the most intelligent politicians you'll find and he will do what it takes to win.
Get it? He'll take the nomination, and then he'll take the general. And he won't do it by hoping that people vote for him either. He'll get out there and make it happen.
I think Romney might be one of the only ones that gets it. He has low name recognition so he's got to actively take the nomination, he can't just hope he somehow wins it.
Personally, I think it was a superb move. This same strategy will be necessary in the general. And if you think not, you're a fool! It's not as though the Republicans are high in the polls.
Romney will NEVER take the nomination. The only thing he will ever take is a shaft in the pucker from his gay friends in Mass.
Crikes, CC, back when the Mittheads were decrying your allegiance to McCain, I thought they might be blowing things out of proportion, but it's getting more and more evident who you're supporting...
10:22 - Have another drink. Must be tough living in 18 percent land.
Huckabee wasn't even INVITED to speak to Club for Growth. Toomey blasted Huckabee for his pas tax hikes.
Huckabee is going to make a great U.S. Senator - don't bash on him too badly. He won't be in this much longer.
Toomey should know better than to bash Huckabee. Why doesn't he get after the real culprits? Bush and his spendaholic congress, that's who!
Almost makes me not feel sorry for him for the backstabbing thing with Spector, Bush, and Santorum.
Krusty's pushing Fred T. today. Looks like somebody's been drinking some kaucus kool aide.
It is time for Huckabee and his #1 adviser (Jared from Subway) to decide to walk away. The Senate is where he needs to be.
He should not be spending what little money he has to lose his ass in Iowa. He never comes here, and when he does appear it is only for a very short time.
He would make a great Senator in Arkansas - they love the ultra bible-baning Baptist ministers there.
9:10 is confused as to what Huckabee is running for.
Little Rock, AR —Former Governor Mike Huckabee (AR) will attend the following schedule of events in New Hampshire on Wednesday, March 14, 2006, it was announced today.

Good for Mike. Vilsack had a lot of events before he dropped out too.
Mike will make a great Senator, and the more he gets out there in the final days of his presidential campaign will make him that much more of a hero when he takes one for the team, and for the good of the party, puts his name on that Senate ballot.
Huckabee in New Hampshire...wow. He shows up once and we are all supposed to think he's our man - please...
It would not hurt to go to Iowa! However, it would be just like in NH. "Great, you're here (finally), are you that Bible-banging Baptist nut? How's Jared?"
10:29, who are you working for?
More from the Club for Growth:
In particular, the Club calls McCain’s tax record, most notably his opposition in 2001 and 2003 to President Bush’s tax cuts, “profoundly disturbing and anti-growth,” though it does praise him in areas such as spending restraint and free trade.
It also calls his record on protecting political speech “appalling” in light of the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform bill.
“While Sen. McCain’s economic record is clearly mixed, a careful study demonstrates that even his pro-growth positions tend to be tainted by a heavy anti-growth undercurrent,” Club President Pat Toomey wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.
The Club’s opposition to then-Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.) in a bitter Republican primary last cycle might have contributed to his loss in the general election. More broadly, the group acts as a voice for economic conservatism.
In previous evaluations, it offered some criticism of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and a generally positive review of Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.).
I work for the Frank Stallone campaign. He is the guy I have supported for years and now he is running for the big show. He'll win too.
I think anyone who supports a candidate who is not Frank Stallone is up for a major disappointment.
Frank is not a religious nut, he's not a RINO, he's not a Mormon, he's not a woman, he's not old as time, and he is not a bottom feeder.
Frank Stallone is THE candidate who has the tools to win, lead, and succeed.
11:26, you're odd.
Huckleby has a "PRIVATE" 3:30 meeting when he is in New Hampshire for a whole day.
Who is he meeting with? Jared? Jenny Craig? Someone from the Mena Arkansas Airport drug smuggling ring? Lobbyists? A religious nut? All?
Why even mention he has a "PRIVATE" meeting at all?
11:26,
Thank you my friend. Would you like to sign on to the Frank Stallone support list?
What is all the Frank Stallone crap?
Sure, it's kind of funny, but where did it all come from?
Krusty's site sucks now.
With the crop of candidates we have, I'd consider Frank Stallone.
Raising Taxes 5 times will not hurt my chances.
Paid for by Huckabee for Senate.
Losers always insult those better than them.
Good job Romney guy 2:28!
Romney made a nice pick up today.

sly stallone's dad was named frank...
