First Read is a morning briefing from Meet
the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important
political stories and why they matter.
The final sprint to Iowa and New Hampshire starts now
Happy New Year and welcome to Thunderdome. The presidential candidates are holding a whopping 28 campaign events today alone; Donald Trump is up with his first TV ad, while Rick Santorum is airing the first negative candidate spot on Ted Cruz;
and Bill Clinton is on the trail in New Hampshire. So with today
marking the start of the final sprint to Iowa and New Hampshire -- which
will be a crazy, chaotic, and consequential next five weeks -- here's a
handy guide to explain WHY the individual 2016 candidates could end up
winning the early states. Or why they could fall short. Think of it as a
helpful exercise to make sure, come Feb. 2 (the day after Iowa) or Feb.
10 (the day after New Hampshire), we're not missing a big story out
there.
