I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!
Every business analyst & investor counselor knows that if you invest more than all your competitors put together & you don't gain a single return on your investment, that's not exactly a celebratory situation!
Get it?
LOL.

All i have to say is, before everyone promises not to vote for Rudy,think of President Hillary Clinton or President HUSSEIN Obama,because if we nominate a Hucklebee,Bloomburg will run and will hand the democrats the win.
I have never seen Hillary cry--not in 16 years of public life. That's odd.
Ummmm..., “3rd”... ummm...., “drain”... “swirl”... get it?
You are misinformed. The latest in Arkansas last week by Global Strategy Group shows Huckabee with 59%, Guiliani and McCain with 9%, Romney with 7%, Thompson with 6% and Paul with 3%.
The Rs are reporting actual votes. The Ds report local delegate votes. I am in Iowa, we colocated caucus meetings at our middle school. We had 149 people show up. The Ds had about the same. But the vote totals for my local D precinct was 3 Obama, 3 Edwards, 2 Clinton, and 0 for the rest.
So in my precinct, if 150 Ds showed up, a candidate had to have at least 22 people vote for them. If they didn't, their vote total would report as zero. I saw Richardson and Biden people going to my local D caucus, so apparently they didn't have enough to be viable, so they had to end up supporting someone else, or go home.
Like anyone will notice.
Iowa does not crown nominees. But it does filter out a few pretenders.
Hill and Mitt took major shots tonite. Fred did well enough to where he is still standing. And Obama will drag the Dems leftward. It now remains to be seen if the GOP is smart enough to exploit that. And whether Mitt will be a good loser or take the ship down with his personal attack-ad funding.
The contribution page is on a secure server. Apparently, the rest of the site isn't.
1) “Democratic” is an adjective (Democrat is the right term)
2) This is a carry the hate-Bush momentum into the ‘08 election ad

Democrats always fall for the flowery language, still looking for Camelot.

1) Don’t they realize “Democratic” is an adjective (Democrat is the right term)

Consider how much money (personal and raised) Romney spent on Iowa, and the fact that he didn't win...
That compared to the other candidates that surged or held their own, could be interpreted as a big loss.
One of the best aspects of the Iowa Caucus is that it runs frauds like Hillary through the corn fields until they pass out from working for the first time in their lives.
