the man you saw describing that there is iowa's republican secretary of state. in charge of elections in iowa. when he ran for office in 2010, he made it his crusade to institute strict new voter i.d. laws in iowa. last year, republicans in the iowa house passed a bill that would have blocked anybody from voting in the state unless they showed government issued photo i.d. that not everybody has. and that democratic leaning voting groups like minorities and poor people are statistically less likely to have. republicans in the house passed that. state democrats blocked that bill in the senate. when state republicans had the chance to institute the same rule for this republicans-only event that they're holding tomorrow, they decided not to institute that rule. what's more, if you are an iowan and not registered to vote at all, but you do want to participate tomorrow night in the republican-run caucuses, you can show up tomorrow and register right there. same-day registration will be allowed. it's another great thing that exists only in a handful of states in this co

the reason that matters, bob, is iowa is a battle ground state. in the general election this ultimately will be about the general election. iowa is a state that went for gore. it then went for bush. i then went for obama. it's a battle ground state. i think the obama team is trying to make the case that while the republicans so busy duking it out, the obama team has actually set up an unprecedented campaign operation not just in an iowa but across the entire country. whoever is the republican that comes out of this is going to have to play catch-up to equal what obama has done in terms of a ground game. >> schieffer: mike allen, give us a little road map of where we go from here. who drops out after iowa? >> very telling that rick perry the texas governor is not going to new hampshire, the next contest. he's jumping ahead. on wednesday he's flying to south carolina. it looks like he may try to make his last stand there. michele bachmann, amazingly, has gone from first four-and-a-half months ago to last in this register poll. she's going to also hav
