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

republican cacus on cspan just started.

Looks like the Biden camp is starting to think about their #2 choice.

[mylife]

Actually, I would like to see her be the nominee. She is so beatable!

[Cedric]

How ‘bout that thing on his lip?

[PureSolace]

on C-Span 2, they were trying to encourage candidates to go with their second choice, based off of how many people they see herded and sectioned off in the room? One guy was questioning if his whole family should go over to the Obama group and vote with them...

What has this become? Sit back and see how everyone votes, then side with the biggest group in the room, cause that seems to be the "in" thing? What type of caucus is this?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

And Rush finally sticking up for conservative principles ...

LOL! Are you serious!

[festus]

And yet CNN has numbers of the results up.

Go figure.

[StarFan]

I realize that. CNN reporting 2% GOP returns show Huck leading Romney and Thompson beating McShame.

[Petronski]

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. I stared aghast at the Des Moines 53rd Precinct Caucus in 2008. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

[CurlyBill]

If Edwards were elected, would she be the first woman President?

[Nam Vet]

Fred is the Man! I'll look forward to your reports. Stay with it and sway 'em to Fred.

[null and void]

I’ll just put my top three from each side
GOP:
1. Mike Huckabee- simply because too many iowa voters have no clue
2. Mitt Romney- organization
3. Fred Thompson- the only real conservative

Dims:
1. Barak Bin laden- same reason as huckabee’s success
2. John Edwards- same reason as barak bin laden
3. Hillary- this is bad for her tonight, simply because too many iowa voters have a clue

[PureSolace]

Oops realized it was C-Span, not C-span 2...

[SE Mom]

I’m switching back and forth between Cspan and Cspan 2- the difference between the Dems and Pubbies in Iowa...is worth watching.

[silentreignofheroes]

Thanks,,wife is watching Deal or no Deal,,glad yall put up with me,,

[TornadoAlley3]

WOW what a difference the Repubs are. Calm, quiet.

[Armedanddangerous]

Yeah

I am now gather this...

This whole thing is the silliest thing Ive seen in some time. We are getting our candidates picked by so few of these people??

[DeusExMachina05]

The republican caucus is so polite and dignified in comparison to the dem one. Its quite striking. The pledge of allegiance first and then the process begins. The dems..no pledge. Very telling.

[The Pack Knight]

Fred at 17%, well above his polls. Not a bad sign.
