While Adrianna Huffington is off lecturing on Pop and Policy at Davos

++The race for the GOP nomination for President has begun in earnest. Tomorrow will be nativist Steven King's Iowa conference "The Freedom Summit", which brings together the Religious Right for their first look at potential candidates. Next up is the Tea Party Convention in South Carolina.

++So who have we heard from so far:
   **Sarah Palin told ABC News she is interesting in running because she has "a servant's heart".
   **John Bolton, who yesterday acknowledged climate change.
   **Donald Trump, who said that Romney blew it and he's sick of Bushes.
   **Marco Rubio, who wowed Eleanor Clift at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast.
   **Scott Walker,who just got Ed Rollins' ground game guy for Iowa.
   **John Kasich, who thinks a balanced budget amendment is just the ticket.
   **Mike Huckabee, who told Fox News Americans must understand that laws come from God.
   **Rick Santorum, who criticized the Pope for saying Catholics shouldn't breed like rabbits.
   **Ted Cruz, who just introduced a bill to strip American citizenship from anyone who is linked to a terrorist group.
   **Dr. Ben Carson, who said Obamacare was worse than slavery.
  **Rand Paul, who says people on social disability are faking it.
  **Bobby Jindal, who warns that Muslim No-go zones are coming to the United States.
  **Rick Perry, who will remember the three cabinet posts he will eliminate.
  **Chris Christie, whose last campaign is $800,000 in debt.
  **Jeb Bush, just because.
  ** Willard Romney because he has a dancing horse and a car elevator and wants a presidency.

++That's only about 17 candidates. Is there anyone there with the vision to lead this country in the 21st Century, not the 19th?
