Romney Goes Conservative in Iowa
The Fix writes that Mitt Romney is courting conservatives in Iowa. Based on the history of caucuses in the state, this is probably wise:
"The Iowa Republican caucuses traditionally have been dominated by religious conservatives, who have helped propel candidates who share their worldview to surprisingly strong showings. In 1988, the Rev. Pat Robertson came from nowhere to finish second in the caucuses behind Kansas Sen. Bob Dole. Eight years later Pat Buchanan, bolstered by support from religious conservatives, placed second behind Dole, who went on to win the GOP nomination."
