With the Weather a lot less than hospitable it looks like Presidential Candidates and their teams of precinct walkers and talkers are pretty much out of time. Massive amounts of snow and cold are now the norm, so unless the supporters wear Eskimo Clothing and snow shoes, its all over.
Many Iowan's laugh at all the warmer climate volunteers that come to their state to promote candidates, as they are not use to it and cannot handle it. Unfortunately, as funny as that is, it can be dangerous for folks as well, because those who are not use to freezing rain, ice and snow or blizzard like conditions can find themselves in car accidents, hypothermia and even freezing to death. It has happened in years past and it will most likely happen this year as well.

The temperatures will be into the teens and with wind-chill factor they can get to zero degrees, thus people coming from places like let's say Arkansas to support Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul will have a much tougher time than they think. Luckily for Mike Huckabee, he has a comfortable lead in first place, unfortunately for Ron Paul, he is far behind in last place and will most likely stay there, say political analysts.
Iowa can be do or die for underfunded Presidential Campaigns and even if a candidate wins big in Iowa, they are not normally the ones who go on to take the nomination, at least looking at statistics for the last 45 years. Time will tell, but if you are going out there to campaign, take a jacket - a thick one.
