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.

[Peach]

Ooooh - the arguing for their candidates starts!!!

[NeoCaveman]

No effin way....

[dogbyte12]

I wonder if Gephardt will retire from politics now. He gave up his leadership post, he is toast in this race. The only thing he could do is run for Senate or the Governorship.

CNN would be thrilled with Kerry

So would Greta Von Sustern who admitted her husband has been campaigning for him.

That Calculator is priceless!!!!! And I predict it will have a very, very long life, here at FR!

[LisaFab]

That's some calculator. Thanks.

And to think these people know they're on TV.

[oceanview]

who will Kerry take as his VP? opinions?

[WVNan]

LOL! That is grotesque.

[Dane]

C-Span 1, pony tail guy(guy shouting, "Dollars for democrats") was elected "permanant Chairman".

210 people in attendance, each candidate must have 32 caucus goers. Kerry people going into the Senior room. Looks like Dean people go to the billiards room.

I'm watching the one where they're literally passing a brown paper bag around the room saying, "Dollars for Democrats!" It's pathetic.

Hey, I use to watch that!
That's the one where they all vie to win a new washer/dryer
from the lobbying organization of their choice?

BEst political poverty story wins?

I was born poor AND I went to vietnam, then came home AND
protested an unjust war, etc etc then married a loudmouth
ketchup heiress AND ran for president, that's why I'm sitting in YOUR kitchen counting peoples names on a brown paper bag.
