Hillary Clinton has two days to outrun the ghosts of 2008, the year her last seemingly invincible campaign crumbled in Iowa. She'll spend it crisscrossing the state, shoring up a shrinking lead over liberal favorite Bernie Sanders, at the same time her would-be Republican opponent, Ted Cruz is working to engineer a last-minute upset over a rising Donald Trump.
Saturday marks the start of a 48-hour sprint to galvanize far-flung pockets of support in caucuses that could be nail-bitingly close and set the terms for the rest of the presidential nominating season. The Des Moines Register will pour some lighter fluid on the already white-hot contests when it releases a poll -- the last best snapshot of the Iowa race -- tonight.

campaigning at all, since God Himself chose Ted to be our next president.
Who needs rallies, buttons, and bumper stickers when the Creator of the Universe has already predestined you for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

of Tony Perkins. Probably timed for this last week of the Iowa campaign.
It's too bad the other Tony Perkins isn't still around. It would be fun for him to fly into Des Moines and endorse Ted Cruz.
Big crowd at a rally in Decatur or Cedar Rapids. Staffer tells Ted, "Hey, we just got a call from Tony Perkins. He's en route from the airport, should be here in a couple minutes, says he's ready to endorse you!"
"Hot dog!" Ted says. "This is the one I've been waiting for!"
