Beginning in March of 2011 I contributed to a bi-weekly set of "Caucus Power Rankings" published on the web at the Iowa Independent.  My contribution was a long essay with my thoughts and analysis of the Republican caucus race as of each writing.  (There wasn't a caucus race for Democrats that cycle because Obama was the incumbent.)  My thoughts were combined those of other contributors and posted on the Iowa Independent's website.  Unfortunately, in November 2011 major changes at the Iowa Independent caused the rankings to be discontinued.  Fortunately, Craig Robinson at The Iowa Republican posted my final four essays in their entirety on his website.  In case they are of interest, the link at left is to a page containing those essays from the 2012 Caucus cycle. 

For the 2016 Caucus cycle I have decided to again write a series of "power ranking" essays.  The link at left is to a page with the essays this cycle.
