The caucuses are coming! The caucuses are coming!

IT'S ALL-IOWA-ALL-THE-TIME for some regionals this week. Tommy Burr for the Salt Lake Tribune is there assessing Mitt Romney's prospects. He also reports that the LDS church is not engaging in get-out-the-vote drives before the caucus; Bill Theobold in the Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Daily Journal reports that Fred Thompson is hoping for an Iowa payoff despite pundits' prediction the caucuses will be the end of his campaign; Nicole Guadiano follows the Biden campaign for the Wilmington News-Journal as the Delaware senator tries to convince voters he is the best prepared to deal with a world crisis ; Jerry Zremski in the Buffalo News explains the complicated caucus process, after last week following New Yorkers Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani through the state; Aaron Sadler for Stephens Media writes about Mike Huckabee's support in the state as well as Hillary Clinton's use of Arkanans in her Iowa campaigning; Craig Gilbert in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Iowa voters still have no idea who they'll chose; and Malia Rulon in the Cincinati Enquirer reports on locals heading out to Iowa.
NEW HAMPSHIRE is right around the corner and Dana Wilkie in the San Diego Union Tribune is tromping through the state with presidential hopeful Rep. Duncan Hunter.
Regionals are writing about a few other things this week -- more to come!
