"in iowa, a signifgant chunck of those folks identify as born again christians or socially conservative. we can probably expect probably 35 to 45 percent likely caucus goers to say their evangelical christians. in new hampshire, that's just not the case, nationally that's not the case." larimer says for candidates who are too focused in on the iowa vote . . . it long run. larimer also pointed to ben carson's recent controversy around facts in his new book. he says how carson responds to that at the debate will be something to watch for. we've got you covered live in the newsroom ..

"it doesn't matter issues." but according to political analysis it could be the beginning of the end. "to not be on that main stage, is a huge blow for their campaign and its a huge blow for folks who were thinking of supporting them. huge blow for financial reasons, so you know, those campaigns." for jindal - he has been moving up in recent iowa polls but is it enough to continue the fight? struggle for his campaign. you can kind of start to group 5, 6, 7 candidates together as candidates who are not getting the traction to really be it will be interesting to see how this line up plays out on tuesday. ben carson - - another point of interest in the debate. coming under criticism - - for the validity of facts in his new moderators to address that issue. we've got you cov
