The shape of things to come

Things are sort of in hold-mode now for me with the Iowa caucuses tomorrow being the starting gun of the race while everything up to now has been stretching exercises for the marathon to come.  I'll feel a little more confident about the shape of the race once it starts.  In the coming weeks I'll take a look at the shape of the race, the implications of the primary race on the overall race. Right now all the speculation adds little value to the chronology, even if it is fun to watch.

Nonsensible Shoes will also be back to a more regular posting schedule starting tomorrow - unless of course I win a lottery in the meantime...

Coming Soon - Candidate Viability

I was planning on providing some thoughts on a number of different elements regarding the GOP candidate field.  A long time ago I provided a candidate review on the top GOP candidates post 2008 (early 2009 actually).  The landscape has certainly changed, but the factors in assessing a candidate really haven't.  They come down to foreign policy, economic policy, social policy, experience and whether the candidate is electable. This time I'm going to do the comparisons issue by issue rather than assessing each candidate on all the issues as a candidate-standalone.  The comparisons will be head-to-head by issue.
