I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!

[Twinkie]

Oh Lord, that we could only be free of the “Clinton Sleaze”. Liberalism is bad enough in a candidate, but when you add sleaze to it, it’s just about gagworthy.

[Shortstop7]

I cannot imagine people showing up undecided and allowing these people to tell them who to vote for.

Strangest thing I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of strange things.

[Vision]

Fox entrance polls have it strong for Huckabust.

[MNJohnnie]

I can believe Edwards winning. These people in Iowa are total morons with not a clue how a capitalist economy works.

So to protect themselves from evil “special interests” they are want a President who is a member of the largest, wealthiest special interest group, the Trial Lawyers?

[LibLieSlayer]

Far more than expected are showing up. I predict an unexpected outcome tonight. I found out earlier that ALL pollsters know one fact... 50% of those polled in Iowa that claim to caucus... NEVER show up. Polling in this case means nothing... Republican turnout was to be far below past elections... it appears to be on track for a record Republican turnout!

That's the way

Uh, Huh!

Uh, Huh!

I like it!

Uh, Huh! Uh, Huh! Uh, Huh!

[cajungirl]

I can’t decide but I think I hate Hillary more. Edwards just seems like such a loud mouthed light weight. Hill is dangerous.

[TornadoAlley3]

Yet if you are disabled, fighting a war, have to work nights, you don’t get to participate.

[Armedanddangerous]

Osama 34%
Hillary 27%
Sissy boy 23%

per fox news at 8:30 PM est

Huck 33%
Romney 23% at the same time.

“Reminds me of the recount and my inability to look away.”

I was recuperating from surgery during the recount. Watched TV day and night until the election was called for W.

We had a power outage the day Gore gave his concession speech and W gave his acceptance speech.

I was so desperate to see the speeches, I went to Best Buy (located in a part of town not hit by the outage) to watch them. The TV aisle at Best Buy was crowded with other political junkies who had to see the speeches, too.

[Petronski]

If that holds, I have to thank Fox for playing McCain up all day.

[seekthetruth]

I am watching C-Span 2, Republican caucus at a college, and see no people wearing candidate T-shirts. Maybe they are not allowed??? Wierd! GO FRED!

The Rebups don’t cacaus till later in the evening

[PapaBear3625]

Incredible, isn’t it, how the network we used to consider indispensible has become reviled?

With that Saudi sheik now having effective control, I don't bother (The Saudi has about 5%, but that's the margin that Murdoch needs the retain control, so Murdoch dances when told)

[festus]

Well exit polls being as accurate as they are do we figure entrance ones would be any better ?

[NewHampshireDuo]

Guess it’s time to start paying attention. But, the Dems on CSPAN 1 are funny.

[Vision]

Those are entrance poll numbers.

[LibertyRocks]

That may indeed be a very good thing... When I see the phrase “likely caucus goers” I sit back and wonder who in the world they are polling. I don’t but any stock in any poll frankly. Too hard to get a real unbiased result.

[maggief]

Hey, cajungirl!

There is nothing to like about Hillary. At least Edwards has great hair. :)

[mnehring]

1. Romney
2. Huck (may have Huck and Romney swapped, they had it up too quickly)
3. Thompson
4. McCain
