According to wikipedia, starting in 2016 in Republican caucuses,

“... the delegates are bound to vote for candidates in proportion to the votes cast for each candidate at the caucus sites.”

Those are the Republican rules; I have no idea what the Democrat rules are.

Once the Cruz voters drag all their churchgoing friends and family to the caucuses, he should get the bump he needs to win. Go Cruz!

In a lot of states they are proportional at some percentage of delegates and proportional at number of counties or districts won. I can’t say how Iowa does it. My memory says that Romney and Santorun split Iowa about evenly in 2012.

True. I was not inferring they were going to Trump, however look at Huck’s and Santorum’s numbers in the final poll.

If it holds, this could be a fun season watching the citizens cram a candidate — either Trump or Cruz — down the throats of the RNC and establish Republicans for a change.

As with all background data, it all ends up adding up to the final result.

The best poll will be Monday, and it will be the final, final result. The larger the turnout, the more likely it will reflect the range that these polls have all shown.

Actually Romney won on Caucus night. About 4 weeks later after the counting was done he actually had 38 more votes.

As a pastor, let me assure you that in some churches that might be true, but in other churches it isn’t.

Sadly, the most politically active churches the last 2 decades have been the liberal ones. That says to me that Sanders will win Iowa over Clinton.

To: GOPe Means Bend Over Spell Run
No need to trash the poll, just quote the article:

Trump excels with voters who have never participated in the caucuses. But the poll, conducted Tuesday through Friday, detects no flood of fresh voters.

"The drill-down shows, if anything, stronger alignment with Cruz than Trump...

there's still a strong case for Cruz in this race — he's more popular and respected than Trump..

another sign of a possible cliffhanger Monday night: Although just 9 percent of likely GOP caucusgoers haven't yet made a choice, they're part of the 45 percent who could be persuaded to change their minds in the final hours....(Trump) is does not register for second choice

If Cruz gets crammed they will chew him up. If Donald gets crammed he will choke them to death, rip off their heads and crap down their gurgling throats.

Want to guess which one I want to cram down their greedy self serving condescending asinine gullets?

In four days of polling, Romney leads at 24 percent, Paul has 22 percent and Rick Santorum, 15 percent.

I think Sanders winning over Clinton is the most likely outcome on the Democrat side too. Especially since on the Democrat side, they apparently have a longer caucus process with speeches made by supporters. It sounds like the enthusiasm for Sanders will be bigger and be able to win over some people at the caucus.

The base is energized. And the primary battles are good practice for the general. They’ll unite.
