Iowa Caucus Live Thread

2/1/16

[markomalley]

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?

[ScottWalkerForPresident2016]

Third place in Iowa is so meaningless. Reminds me of the close race for third between Fred Thompson and John McCain on caucus night 2008. Thompson prevailed for third, and went nowhere.

It really is a political junkie thing, to care about third place in the Iowa caucus.

MSNBC said Republican Caucus has run out of Registration forms—

What? Are there no printers? Are there no photocopiers?

[austinaero]

Is the Cruz crew checking voter ‘grades’ as the registrations are being turned in? Gotta find out who is naughty..or nice.

Come on Iowa people I’ve prediction on the line here - With Trump elections are fun!

[LS]

Seems like whoever is doing them-—CBS, CNN, it’s always a 5% Trump lead.

[rodguy911]

True but up until last Tuesday rush had not advocated one candidate over another. last Tuesday it all changed.

[maggief]

Holy cow! Watching on C-SPAN3.

Little person with walker speaking for Jeb! Where’s tippy-toes when you need him!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks! Earlier today Microsoft Bing had Trump winning with “44% predicted share of vote” and now it is 45%.

[calisurfer]

I turned Levn off 2 weeks ago.

It was like a 3 hour infomercial for Cruz.

Could not take it.

Levin bores me.

Great... Thanks.

[Outlaw76]

Let me guess, you also predicted that no one would watch the debate on Fox news.

Rush will be fine.

He, like many of us here, wonder how in the world conservatives can vote for trump.

I understand the anger, but directing it tword the only politician in the race who has stood up for concervative principles...

It's just weird to me.

[Tennessee Nana]

Guy speaking for Jebbie..

“The reason why Jebbie is not doing good is because he stay above it all” (the mud slinging)

[KC Burke]

Gunner is number 2 ... that has got to hurt.

[rodguy911]

Looks like a big night supposedly that favors Trump

[grey_whiskers]

If nastyass comments by people drove someone to the other side Cruz would be winning by 50%.

"If we had some bacon, then we could have bacon and eggs, ...if we had any eggs."

Politics has its ups and downs. Take it in stride. Note that I am not gloating, but attempting to be magnanimous.

('Cuz even *tonight*'s outcome is still uncertain: even concerning the amount of snow expected.)

[ScottWalkerForPresident2016]

Why are those numbers different? They just said 27% for Trump, 22% for Cruz and 21% for Rubio on television two minutes ago.
