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.

**Was it wise of Clark to skip Iowa? He could've benefitted from the Dean freefall.**

He'd have to check with bill and hill to find out for sure! LOL!

I suspect this race will get all kinds of nasty starting manana or the next day. Dean has to go on full attack to beat the Clinton/McAuliffe/Lehane machine.

What would be an interesting caucus would be a get together of Skull & Bones alumni. Bet Bush would walk over Kerry. I wonder if most of them will remain neutral though.

I know you hate my guts, but I gotta tell you - that was funny. : )

So sad...they must have went to the wrong "Buckeye State", eh?

[Pukin Dog]

The huge swing among the Deaniacs has got to be disastrous for Dean. These are young kids, and they will hop off the band wagon faster than you can say "loser". From the looks of DU, most are headed for Wes Clark.

We will know in a few days when Dean's funding starts drying up. It was fun while it lasted, but the expectations game is unforgiving. Dean is going to be abandoned. Some will go to Edwards too, but the point is, when the media shined the lights on Dean, he looked like a loser. His wife flying out after hitting the tanning booth, and his Church and MLK panic stunts only hurt him. He had another panic attack.

What impressed me most was all the talk of diversity in rooms full of white people. Not a minority in sight.

The Kerry girls are stuttering their way through their talking points on Chrissy Matthews.

Edwards hasn't done the one state job he was elected to do here in NC. Now he wants to be CEO of 50 states? There's a disconnect here, isn't there? Executive hair is not enough.

[Jorge]

Iowa is rejecting the far left wing as pushed by Dean and his youngsters.......

Dean appealed to the rabid Bush-haters. Most Dems realize that they are losers.

Speaking of which...I wonder how Gore is feeling about now. He endorsed Grey Davis and he lost. He endorsed Mondale and he lost. He made a speech ripping Bush on Global Warming on the coldest day on record, and now he is watching his candidate Dean the Bush hater crash and burn.

[Dog]

Now they are fretting over not having minority voters there..

[Peach]

They are good at pretending on C-Span calls, aren't they. It's getting more interesting.

...when is the next caucas...

What's the reason for Edward's surge?? I always thought he was the greatest threat to Bush.

[goodnesswins]

What the He** is this "all the genders" stuff...."presenting all the genders?" To whom? For whom? Is this her SOAPBOX time?

[Brandon]

I would hate to draw any firm conclusions from tonight's results, other than Gephardt is toast.

That sounds about right.

What I love is how the whack job conspiroids think the the S&B are some all knowing powerful conspiracy. They are a bunch of wealthy little rich white boys (and one token woman and one token minority) who have a building on Yale and drink a lot and do stupid Fraternity crap. (and chuckle at all the attention)
