5. Although Clinton is way ahead in the Iowa polls, Elizabeth Warren is doing very well

especially considering that we are told repeatedly that she "is not running. Get over it."

The Des Moines Register is the newspaper of authority in Iowa if I remember correctly, and it states:

Fifty-eight percent of likely Democratic caucusgoers view her favorably, compared with 11 percent who have negative feelings and 31 percent who are unsure. She's the first choice for 16 percent of likely caucusgoers.

A draft effort by liberal groups appears to be raising Warren's profile, and the people who are discovering Warren generally like her, but her seriousness as a presidential candidate remains unclear. She has consistently said she is not a candidate for president, even as she's been coy about whether that could change.

If she did get into the race, Warren would be a viable competitor in Iowa, Link said.

Compare this to the charts on this website showing the polling data for Iowa 2008 and then at the bottom of the page, the final results of the caucuses.

How can we get on the list of people invited to attend these events in the future?
