Can you believe this

Five days to go before the Iowa Republican Caucus, and there have been more swings than in the schoolyard playground. Michele Bachman has gone from polling first after winning the straw poll six months ago to running last. I guess once you get to know someone you can make informed choices.Tim Pawlenty left back then, as he failed to gain any support. Then came herman Cain and his 9 9 9 plan , and with it all of his infidelities real or otherwise and he was also a memory.Rick Perry was a late entrant and he shot to the top, only before losing traction and sliding back down into the also ran group. Newt Gingrich, was riding the wave to the top ,polling with a lead in the double digits even announcing that he would indeed be the nominee. Only that was before the rest of the group ran ads reminding America of Newts past. Mr. Gingrich started crying foul , saying that it was negative advertising, and that he was going to stay positive and stay on message and that he was above that kind of campaign. Only after seeing his lead evaporate did his vow of superiority go out the window, saying on a nation wide news show that he would indeed remain with his positive message and not resort to the negative campaign practices employed by his competition, even while bashing each and every one of them on the show. All along, while all of the others have gone from just an also ran to having their turn at the top, Mitt Romney has clung to his twenty something percent polling numbers . He can't get any support outside of his small group. Jon Huntsman decided not to spend any time in Iowa and may be the best candidate in the bunch , but he doesn't have a chance of gaining any support after not playing by the rules by bypassing Iowa. And that leaves Rick Santorum he is making gains everyday in the polling numbers, as each of the other front runners crash and burn although he is still lagging behind the other front runners Romney and Paul. Ron Paul, has been gaining in strength each day in Iowa , but he still is being dismissed as a serious candidate by all the others in the campaign and by all of the network news. Gary Johnson never was given any chance of competing, and has left the group and went on to the libertarian party, to run as a spoiler. Getting good? depends on you idea of good. The clock is tickng
