Dear Kathie Obradovich, the Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal study halls are over

Slowing-deciding caucus voters are still studying Perry, Jindal.  (Des Moines Register, 8/10/2015)

Center of the pack?  The percentages below tell us otherwise.

With 17 Republican candidates now in the race, Perry and Jindal are roughly in the center of the pack in Iowa polls. Neither made the main stage in last week’s Fox News debate, which based its participation criteria on national polls.

And it appears that there wasn't a whole lot of studyin' goin' on in the first place.
