FYI it's being carried live on Cspan. They said coverage starts at 7 pm ET, with the actual caucus at 7:30 pm ET.

Calling hipyy dude......calling hippy dude.

Gore picked up his greatest surge after kissing Tipper at the convention. Can you just imagine what Edwards will do to his wife at the convention to try and win this thing? I wonder if he can find a plastic surgeon to lengthen his tongue.

Did anyone see Rita Cosby's interview with Chris Lehane yesterday? That man is evil and he's working for Clark. This is not over by a long shot.

[small voice in the wilderness]

You are right. Dean must be ONE P*SSED OFF Dwarf right now.

[MeekOneGOP]

If this keeps up, look for Dean to end up in a clocktower with a .30-'06.

ROFL !!!

[mabelkitty]

You are right.
More so that they have now recognized they have no power.
Wonder if Iowans know how to spell "Primary".

THIS JUST IN:

Gore is devasted that HIS candidate has sunk. Details at 11.

[festus]

;major garrett reporting Dean HQ is in "lockdown" mode. LOL!

Good they finally captured the man. Lets just hope they don't let him go..... ;-)

[abner]

I've missed much in the last 45 minutes!

Kerry looks like he should eat a few double-cheeseburgers.

[Tuxedo]

I did not think Herman Munster had a chance in Iowa. The Dean bubble has burst. He is so toast...

Hard to imagine Kerry doing well in the South, and Western Plains.

[JosephW]

Edwards 33.3
Dean 17.6
Gephardt 10.9

precints 765 of 1993

[Jim Noble]

But, what have they got on Kerry and Edwards??

What did they have on Vince Foster and Ron Brown?

[Salvation]

**They WILL band together.**

Looking forward to the State of the Union Speech tomorrow night after this scene!

[southernnorthcarolina]

Predictions:

1. Gephardt withdraws by noon tomorrow.

2. Dean will be very angry on the campaign stump in New Hampshire. Think he's been angry so far? You ain't seen nothin' yet.

3. Kerry (who is a Viet Nam vet, I think) is trying to figure out how to hide Teresa from public view, and especially from microphones.

4. If Edwards becomes the Dem nominee (and it's still a long shot; I think that the Dem powers have had enough of Southern Protestant white boy nominees, and the "diversity" mavens are squawking), we'll have a weird situation, because the Dems will still write off the South, excepting maybe Florida, Arkansas, and Louisiana (but they won't win those, either).

Curiouser and curiouser!

[Catspaw]

I wanted the hippy dude to launch into a "it's not over until I say it's over!" and end with "when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" Belushi kind of speech.

Oh, geez, the guys in Dubuque are doing their math. This should be good.

Another big calculator at the other location:



[Maybe it is a law in Iowa to have big calculators.]

Dean is dropping faster than a lame duck over my back yard on opening day.

LOL! Love that image!

[GOPyouth]

LOL. If I remember correctly, the original caption from the Onion was "Gore Bummed That Clinton Never Calls Anymore."

[Democratshavenobrains]

Aren's NH Dems more conservative than Iowa Dems? Why would they vote for Dean over Kerry?
