Before they tune out, the last images they are seeing before setting their eyes on a Christmas tree, are Newt Gingrich under attack from Team Romney, Ron Paul under attack from everyone, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry on a bus tour in Iowa, and Rick Santorum getting help from evangelicals.The clock ticks down to the actual start of the race in just over a week. Iowa voters will go to the caucuses and start us down the road to the White House.Even though people are checking out and tuning out, there is still time for a shake up and there are two trends in Iowa that all the polls are showing.

Newt Gingrich is going down.We&#8217;ll get into it all in the Horserace today.]]>Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:03:13 -0500<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2011/12/22/horserace-for-december-22-2011-n41593
