What Do Iowa Caucuses Look Like for GOP Supporters of Filibusters?

The Des Moines Register reports:
A powerful group of leading state Republicans and social conservatives sent a letter last week to "potential presidential candidates" telling them, in effect, that any GOP senator with presidential aspirations who doesn't support ending judicial filibusters will face consequences in the 2008 caucuses....While McCain could bypass the caucuses in 2008, just as he did in 2000, it's not clear Hagel, a relative unknown from a neighboring state, could afford to do so. Almost any strategy for Hagel would require him to do well in the leadoff contest in his home region before the race moved to New Hampshire and South Carolina.
