There are five categories of caucus-goers, according to Bender, and many voters span several categories: the party core; the union and association members; those who support a particular candidate; those dragged along by voters in the first three groups; and the merely curious. "The thing about the 'drag' and the 'curious' is that it's really hard to poll beforehand who they are because they don't know who they are until just before the caucuses," Bender says. Even inside the caucus room the 'drag' are unpredictable because they are so prone to changing horses...
...each member of this two-man Over-the-Hill gang makes a list of things to do before kicking the bucket. Edward wants a few kicks: skydiving, tattoo, drag-racing. Carter has a loftier agenda: "Laugh until I cry." (That one kicks in around minute 86.) "Help a complete stranger." (Guess who?) "Witness something truly majestic." (Reiner clearly wants audiences leaving his movie to believe that's what they've just done.) They go to France for a great meal, Africa for a safari, Egypt for the Pyramids, India for the Taj Mahal, Nepal to scale Mount Everest. Carter...
...late-December Iowa, this unlikely amalgam of populism, conservative policies and peerless religious credentials appears to have hit a chord. In just a few weeks, he has rocketed into the lead among Republican voters in Iowa and South Carolina, two states rich with evangelical voters.

The campaign remains confident of the gamble paying off. "I think what this is, is the Republican Party getting back in touch with its base," said Chip Saltsman, Huckabee's campaign manager...
...eyebrow raising and age-inappropriate womanizing, or the moral weight that Freeman effortlessly lends to the screen, “The Bucket List” delivers. Between a priceless sing-a-long to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and the testosterone-fueled drag race between Cole and Chambers, Nicholson and Freeman appear to be enjoying each other’s company. And the audience gets a kick out of being along for the ride. Neither strays very far from their stereotypes: Nicholson’s character renews his membership in the mile-high club, while Freeman...
...with novel approaches to dream sequences, where the shots begin upside-down. Tim Roth offers an impressive portrayal of Dominic as he appears at 70 and at 35. Roth salvages the boring intellectual banter between Dominic’s doubles as best he can, though the scenes drag. However, Coppola’s efforts ultimately go astray. By attempting to cover so many disparate topics in one film, the end result feels jumbled and jumpy. Crucial elements of the film fail to develop, leaving the audience confused. The older Dominic acts much too frail in his performance, and such affectations...
