Walker is already planning a rollout, which would launch in July after his legislative session is over.

He really doesn't though. He will probably see a lot of success early on, but I don't see him being more than flavor of the month. I agree with the article, he'll find success in Iowa but "will burn fast".

But it's rare to win Iowa and not have a good chance of being nominated. It's true the last two Iowa winners weren't nominated, but Huckabee might have been if he hadn't narrowly lost South Carolina. I think Cruz is probably a better candidate than Huckabee and Santorum and likely to be better funded.

Hillary has scheduled another paid speech for February. Haberman says it could be a hint HRC hasn't fully decided about running.

Update on Ben Carson's conversation with God about whether he should run for president: Carson feels God's fingers:

Bolton, Cruz, Fiorina, Huckabee, and Santorum will all be attending the "Iowa Freedom Summit" in Des Moines on Jan. 24:

Finally, the next CPAC doesn't happen until Feb. 25, but two potential 2016ers are already lined up to speak: Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina:

Sen. Lindsey Graham says "maybe."

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/225132-sen-graham-says-maybe-to-a-2016-white-house-bid?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

“I'm thinking of trying to fix illegal immigration and replacing sequestration. I will let you know if I think about running for president. It's the hardest thing one could ever do. You go through personal hell. You have got to raise a ton of money. I'm nowhere near there,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Asked if his response could be labeled as a “maybe,” Graham nodded and said, “That’s what it was.”

Something tells me Ben Carson's foreign policy knowledge is going to be similarly disastrous (but not quite as bad) as Sarah Palin.

Old news, but I missed it: Trump made a visit to New Hampshire two weeks ago:

http://www.necn.com/news/politics/2016-New-Hampshire-Presidential-Candidate-Tracker-281958331.html

In response to the question of whether he'll run:

Long New York Observer on Cruz's meetings with Jewish donors. Adelson thinks Cruz is too RW and a longshot to be nominated.
