A search shows that nobody's opened up a live thread for tonight's caucuses. So here goes.
Predictions? For both the GOP and Dem nominations?
Eyewitness Accounts? See any funny business going on?
O'Malley.
Huckabee and Santorum both hung it up last I heard.
And Carson is going on sabbatical.
How many delegates are there ???
CSPAN 99% of Precincts Reporting 12.12 CST
Cruz 51649 27.7% 8 delegates
Trump 45416 24.3% 7
Rubio 431328 23.1% 6
Carson 17393 9.3% 3
Paul 8478 4.5% 1
Jebbie 5235 2.8% 1
Hillary 49.8% 22 delegates
Bernie 49.6% 21 delegates
I beg to differ. Telling voters in an active caucus that another candidate is dropping out is not a trick, it’s cheating.
MSNBC saying now 90 precincts weren’t staffed by Iowa Dem Party and want help counting.
Sounds like no one was there to validate dem votes. So they managed to make the caucus results as invalid as electronic votes!
This totals 27, but there are 30 delegates allotted for Iowa at the National Convention.
The other 3 are reserved for the Iowa GOP Chairman, the Iowa National Committeeman, and the National Committeewoman, who technically go unpledged, but we already know the State Chairman is a Rubio guy, not sure about the other two. When they are thrown in, the one with the most delegates could be Cruz, could be Trump, could be Rubio, but none of them by more than one or two, ---basically it's a wash.
The name of the game is "Delegate-Count" and at this point it is indeed a 3-man race.
ok, whatever sore loser. go home....
But they were just carpet baggers?
Any difference from Hillary moving to New York and putting on a Yankees cap?
Same thing in my book
I am just thinking Trump would have more things to concern himself with then dealing with abortion. Builds the wall, kicks out the illegals, makes better trade deals (which brings back American jobs) and kills ISIS. I would be happy.
I am tired of career politicians promising this and that and never delivering anything just so they can use that issue in the next election. I am tired of voting for “conservatives” who go to Washington and give Obama everything he wants on silver platter (in exchange for oil subsidies) jeez they sell us all down the river for so little.
I am selecting the non-career politician this time around. Lets see where it goes, Trump can not do any worse then Obama or W

Carson is broke.
He will have to go to Cruz just like Walker did to get his debt paid off.
They will kiss and make up.
How do you NOT staff your own precincts if you are the Democrats? It’s not like you don’t have enough loony leftists in Iowa.
Their process is so convoluted just like their warped little PC minds.
I hope they never have a true winner in Iowa.
What does that even mean?
Drinking too much?
.
Cruz will make oatmeal out of Bernie in the general.
.
Congratulations on your brother’s fine choice. Iowa’s religious Right voters must be vastly undercounted in these polls. Discovering that was true, prompted my smart remark. No offense taken, I hope.
I heard tonight that IOWA Republicans have only twice ever picked the Republican nominee. Dole, and GW Bush.
Also, heard that the Iowa winner on the Republican side, never wins in New Hampshire.
All is upside down.
TRUMP TRAIN is rolling! On to New Hampshire!
Thanks EV.........am trying to stay with FR and doing a project at the same time so missing things along the way...
HRC’s district lead down to two: 693-691
If it weren’t for the coin-flips, Bernie would be up 694-690, even with the 90 unstaffed precincts in question.
.
People are placing bets right now on Cruz, which moves the line.
Everyone with any sense sees what tonight’s victory has done to the election.
I wonder where those three O’Malley Voters will go?
The party probably understaffed the ones where Hillary was in trouble
The crook beating the commie 694-692 with 14 precincts left.
Eight counties left gave Hillary an initial lead with a precinct open. Four counties left were pro-Sanders.
