Remember last cycle, back when Romney was The Frontrunner and every month there'd be some Great Conservative Hope who rose in the polls only to crash and burn (often more than once)? Will 2016 have that same dynamic? If not, why not? Will the GOP lack a front runner through out? Will there be 2+ "strong" candidates (in relation to other primary candidates)? Perhaps some sillier sort of silly season?

For 2012, eleven people led in multiple nationwide GOP primary polls:

Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie, Donald Trump, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum

So far in 2016 polling, we've already had nine different people do this (including four of the same people from last time) and we're still over a year away from the Iowa Caucus!

Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz

If anything, this Republican Primary will be even more exciting and turbulent than the last one. Also my money is on Bobby Jindal to be the Huckabee/Santorum of this cycle, where he's stuck in the single digits but ends up surging into the spotlight thanks to an excellent ground game in Iowa

Are there already indications Jindal is building a strong ground game in Iowa, or is that a gut feeling?
