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.

[Salvation]

This Republican is from Oregon.......I'll have to find out where!

[Dan from Michigan]

YES. He's one that scared me, much more than Kerry.

[over3Owithabrain]

Fox is fawning over Kerry and his campaign manager. I'm glad he saved his Vietnam buddy, but this smacks of a political stunt. This guy just pops up after 35 years, never have spoken to him before?

Re: Dean spin on PMSNBC

[Pikamax]

CNN officially calling it for John Kerry.

[GOPyouth]

Some dude on FNC talking about Kerry in Vietnam.... Ya know, since serving in Vietnam equates strong presidential leadership.

[Ciexyz]

Even Jesus has stopped returning Dean's phone calls.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I didn't know Kofi Annan lived in Iowa.

[Indy Pendance]

It will be interesting. do you all think dean will throw in the towel tonight? I don't.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Is the headline "live" ...

Or we do that only for playoff games and the world serious? 8<)

[Howlin]

Oh, I forgot Tom Harkin endorsed Dean, too..........hahahahaha

[Timeout]

There are at least 2 top Kerry campaign staffers who were fired in the last 60 days.

It's going to be interesting to see if they start leaking inside dirt...just before NH.

[MJY1288]

Dean just lied again, he said Jimmy Carter endorsed him

[Poser]

"Evidently, Kerry is a Vietnam vet, who knew? "

Me too and I'm voting for GWB.

[Dog Gone]

Toast, indeed. If Gephardt can't do well in Iowa, for pete's sake, how's he going to do in a real state?

Dean's numbers may improve if the the college campus precincts haven't reported yet, but we already know the general outcome of tonight.

The Iowa Caucuses don't really mean much in the long run. It's a weird way of gauging support, and it doesn't attract people who like voting in private.

The really good news for America is that union support means zilch. It split between Dean and Gephardt. Ha ha.

So much for that.

Edwards is a big surprise here in Iowa, but he's not going to do well in NH, and he'll be lucky to be considered for VP. I don't think this showing means anything other than he'll get a few days of media coverage before the next big story comes along.

[Krodg]

LOL..That one got much praise on DU...

Not exact....but close to their rantings

'He is such a simple person'... She is so dedicated to her profession...If a woman ever becomes president do you think her husband would give up his career?...Laura Bush is a Stepford wife...Judy is so dedicated, exactly what we want to show the world...

Yuk..

[surrey]

I wonder how much it cost Teresa to drag this guy in to tell his story. Funny that it took all this time for him to thank Kerry for saving his life. Hmmmmmmm

[BCrago66]

Now the C-Span Dems are all going to "Happy's" for drinks.

Here's the address and telephone number of Happy's - if anyone want to give them a call:

[Howlin]

Did he really?

[southernnorthcarolina]

**Fox News: "An awful lot of long faces...."** For Gephardt supporters.

Gephardt and Dean have long faces because they lost. Kerry has a long face because he has a long face.
