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.

Yeah...the whole room just moved to the "Kerry Room".

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

Figures that the scientologists would go for Kerry. I am waiting for Tom Cruise and John Travolta to go campaign for him.

BTW, thank you for being concerned. You're a peach.

[prairiebreeze]

Really. I don't like her show any better than Woodruff's.

more accurately: looks like they were able to use the polls to move enough voters in the direction they wanted.

I'm cubicle-bound out here in California, and am getting 100% of my news about the caucuses from this thread. All I can say is HILARIOUS!!!!!!

My favorite online activity is an FR Live thread...especially during an election, Dem primary debate, etc.

Some of the comments are priceless :)

Half of those who are voting for Kerry tonight will be voting for Bush in November. This is an "Anti Dean" statement being made tonight, I hope they poll these people as they leave the Caucuses and ask them will they be voting the same way in November..... I would like to know

[Pubbie]

Hold your horses - these are very preliminary results.

Go Dean!

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL !

[what's up]

They got tittilated by Kerry's use of the F-word in Rolling Stone (or was it Mother Jones?).

[CyberCowboy777]

ROTFL!

Two against one and the Bush supporter is standing firm!

[alnick]

Did you hear that? "He voted for the $81 THOUSAND dollars for the reconstruction"??

[Indy Pendance]

If anything really important happens let us know. I'm wasting my tv on this.

[mystery-ak]

I keep switching back from c-span 1 and 2....this is so funny...now I understand Florida 2000...LOL

[Spunky]

"Do you think the candidates are watching this?"

If they are they are going to have one big headache.

They sound like a bunch of chickens in a hen house.

[mylife]

Theres a bunch of dopes on DU claiming that the caucus on CSPAN is a fraud. They claim Republicans have registered as Dem to infiltrate and vote for other than Dean LOL!!

[LisaFab]

LOL! Now a peace-nik is arguing with the NY guy. My money is on the NY guy.

[Aquamarine]

LOL! That's good MO!

[CyberCowboy777]

I don't know - I am in my office, no TV.
