POLL: What Do You Want for Caucus?

While you're worried about making a list and checking it twice, there are eight presidential hopefuls wishing for the nomination. Who will you vote for come Jan. 3?

It's crunch time, people, and we're not talking about the countdown to Christmas.

Unless you've been wrapped up in a box under a big tree covered in lights, you've no doubt noticed all the media coverage, the back-and-forth between candidates, the breakfasts, dinners, the shaking hands and the kissing babies that have been going on in Iowa these past few months. To that, I say, 'tis the season - the Iowa caucuses are just a little more than a month away.

Since 1972, Iowa has been first in the nation to hold such a major electoral event and we're pretty proud of that. For months leading up to the big day, we primp and preen like children ready to sit on Santa's lap, eager to make a good showing and make our (fore)fathers proud.

Sure, you may already have a favorite, chosen from months of research and by paying attention to every debate, forum and stump speech. Or, maybe, you're undecided and hoping Santa will finally give you what you want after that whole unfortunate Mike Huckabee situation four years ago (admit it, that is what you asked for.)

So, just for a minute, put down the basting brush, put aside your Christmas list and tell us, who do you want to win the nomination?
