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.

Yep, BOTOX. I can even tell you exactly where they put the shots. He had them about a week and a half ago from the looks of the change. It will grow even more pronounced in about a week. How do I know? Because I've been getting BOTOX shots for an eye disease for about 12 years now. If you continue to get them they eventually change the "landscape" of the face. When I get them around my eyes they "migrate" down the facial muscles and make my mouth droop. I hate that. I actually look better when they wear off.

Sounds like she screwed up already.

Wow this lady can't add and she is in charge of the count..

I can't watch c2, it's like watching paint dry.

No one wants to chair, or be secretary. The enthusiasm is electric!

Tell me about it. I do think the chairlady qualifies for an extreme make-over.

Absentee ballot forms being handed out...this is where the fraud starts, right here.

Yes, "if you need an absentee ballot for any reason sent to your home, fill this little form out right here"

These are all people who were able to make it to a caucus in the middle of frigid winter night......yet they might not be able to get to the voting booth in November? Yeah sure.

[OldFriend]

After reading the article in People Magazine it's clear that Dean is a miserable ba$tard to live with.......not sure how she stuck with such a mean spirited person.

[KQQL]

C_SPAN 1 is more a INTERESTING CAUSUSUSUSU FOLKS....

[VRWC_minion]

There should be a competency test requirement...

If they can shuffle their foot 3 times when you say the number 3, then they can vote.

[Semper Paratus]

WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY ABOUT TAKING CARE OF MAILING ABSENTEE BALLOTS IN?

What corner of the room do the have the envelopes stand?

[Peach]

Kerry: Haircut, eyebrows done, botox, facial, makeup to hide the circles and deep-set eyes

[Libertina]

Delphi techniques... interesting remark. I woudn't put it past them!

[dawn53]

And look at all the diversity in the crowd! (end/sarcasm)

I can't imagine a precinct in my city where you wouldn't see at least a few minority voters.

This crowd is the most "undiverse" (LOL), that I've ever seen.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Nice that they open with a prayer or a word of thanksgiving about living in America or the pledge of Allegiance. not!!!!

I was waiting for something like that, too. But...they did pass the collection envelope.

[OXENinFLA]

Did you just see that hippie on c1?

[abner]

Wow this lady can't add and she is in charge of the count..

Hence the problem...

[OldFriend]

I have read but cannot confirm that you don't even have to show identification when you attend a caucus.

This is ripe for mischief.......an understatement!

[Spunky]

Some Freepers are watching C-Span and some C-Span 2 so their responses to your question about what is happening on C-Span may seem disjointed.

C-Span 2 is just showing a single caucus in one womens home.

Federal tax form. Check box gives $3 to federal funding for presidential candidates. Assuming only Dem and Pub candidates qualify + $1.50 each.

Not sure I know any Pubbies dumb enough to check that box.

This crowd is the most "undiverse" (LOL), that I've ever seen.

Lots of caucasians in the hawkeye cauci
