So here’s one question: Gingrich lost a lot of his campaign operation earlier this year and it’s not clear how quickly he can ramp up his organizing efforts in Iowa. The obvious Gingrich strategy is to try to win the Iowa caucuses, since caucus attendees are more conservative than Republicans as a whole and include a lot of Romney-resistant righties. Can Gingrich get an organization together to scoop up straying Perry and Cain supporters?
Here’s another question: Normally, it would be too late for someone else to get in. But there is clearly space here for another candidacy. Write-in campaigns were once common in New Hampshire, though a long time ago. Henry Cabot Lodge won the 1964 Republican primary in New Hampshire, beating Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller, on the basis of a write-in campaign organized without his approval (or disapproval) while he was our Ambassador to South Vietnam. Will there be a Draft Daniels – or Christie or Portman – write-in effort?
