"No one knows who will emerge a winner in the Iowa caucuses tonight because Iowa voters still don’t know who they are going to vote for. The GOP primary has been highly fluid, with candidates rising quickly then crashing and burning, leaving room for another candidate to emerge. A day before the caucuses, Public Policy Polling showed the three front-runners just 2 points apart, and the Des Moines Register poll showed 41% of caucus-goers will make up their minds at the last second. In an election this close, it could come down to who has the best ground game. Each candidate can sign up precinct leaders or captains who have agreed to represent at the caucuses — an important aspect of the process which becomes crucial when so many voters will make up their mind at the caucus. Before votes are cast, each the precinct leader or captain present is allowed to make a short speech in favor of their chosen candidate. “It’s always going to come down to who has the precinct captains in all precincts,” says Christopher Larimer, a political science professor at the University of Northern Iowa."
