I'll be caucusing for Fred Thompson at Iowa's largest single caucus site tonight in Waterloo, Iowa; the countywide caucuses are all in one place here. Well over 3,000 people are expected at my location tonight; it wouldn't surprise me if we end up with 5,000. Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Ann Romney are confirmed to speak at our location in person so far, with more speakers pending. Former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer will speak on behalf of John McCain. Waiting to hear whether Thompson or one of his representatives will make an appearance.
I'll be posting an after-action report tonight as soon as I get home from the caucuses. I expect it to be a zoo, especially with Ron Paul and is, um, supporters out in force. It should also be statewide and national media central; there won't be anything else like it tonight.

Is it over? Who won? Or is the better question: who lost? What was the final cost/vote?

Terry McAuliffe is on Fox News right now praising Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee is his candidate he wants to run against in November.

I’m not sure which one I’m rooting for more, the sinking of the SS Cankles, or a big Fred push into the top tier.
To: xjcsa
Go Fred!
It'll be interesting to hear first-hand reports :)

I’m in. Thanks for the work on the ground. I hope Fred or a rep is speaking there tonight.

I’m hoping for a first for fred Thompson, but even a second or third will prove my suspicion of polling bias with intent to influence public opinion
