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.

Yes, there are sexy people in Iowa, but they're all conservatives. ;)

What I love is that with Dean's anemic results, he must have spent over $100 per Iowan to come in third.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Jeanine Garafolo is wearing Black....

Carlton College, then moved to Winston-Salem, and now works for Marlboro. LOL

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

Oh, no, the party is just starting. I think Dean is the only one with the gonads to go for the kill. Kerry picked up the polite midwestern vote. When they get to New Hampshire, Dean should rule. There's nothing about Kerry that is attractive and with this new exposure, more voters will find that out.

Ooooh, that's a great post, Tator!

Kerry worries me the most. He won't get Republicans to vote for him but he will get Independents. Independents love the conservation/environmental talk.

Maybe, but Kerry is supposed to the Dem candidate who can challenge Bush on national security issues.( Vietnam Vet etc.)

And I don't believe even most Dems would prefer a Dem over Bush when it comes to national security. This is Bush's strongest point in all polls.

But Kerry has the head start on long faces ... can Dean catch up?

[BCrago66]

It would be very tough - especially with President Bush alienating his base by spending like a Democrat.

[Kevin Curry]

Actually they're right. Perhaps for the first time in their sad, misguided lives.

LOL! Next stop for the disillusioned and newly wise: conservatism!

[cajungirl]

I think your Kerry?edwards ticket would give Bush a run. Kerry has always frigtened me. Edwards is an empty suit but is in training for the big job. Sort of a clinton without as much Saavy. Kerry will run strong.

[Snake65]

But if Dean pulls out a #2 in New Hampshire after tonight, is he "the comeback kid?"

[Salvation]

Unbelievable story..........

[Pikamax]

WOW! Howard Fineman is ripping Howard Dean a new one.

[niteowl77]

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

And THAT has been the high part of this whole nauseating Iowa caucus! Dungie's slippery, so it probably won't hurt him much, but it is good to see the little opportunist lose at craps.

[Johnny_Cipher]

You gotta be kidding me. Kerry's wearing his ribbons on his fatigues?

[GOPyouth]

Didn't President Hart win Iowa? heh heh :)

[ambrose]

Hahaha... you got it.

[ClintonBeGone]

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

Ask for Mike Hunt.

[Carolinamom]

Isn't Chip Carter working for Dean?

[Dog]

Did Dean just say politcians use their familys as props..
