A search shows that nobody's opened up a live thread for tonight's caucuses. So here goes.

Predictions? For both the GOP and Dem nominations?

Eyewitness Accounts? See any funny business going on?

I think the dust-up with the Don convinced her she needed to toughen up her look. Too bad. She’s a pretty girl, but this doesn’t look pretty.

Hopefully we will have 5-6 candidates drop out after tonight.

what if Trump 1 DOES have bomb bays?

[Red Steel]

Looks like the magic Cuban peeled off some votes from Trump. No surprise since he’s been flying under Trump’s radar.

Yeah Rubio probably cut into Trump's vote with his surge. Trump has got to do better around Des Moines.

The big takes so far:

Trump is real.

Cruz blew right through the nasty mailer and the ethanol issue.

“He’s been an asshole to all the other candidates, and those people are not going to forget.”

My money says, “Trump/Cruz” ticket.

[Tramonto]

Everyone likes Rubio.

>> One could make the case that a Cruz victory actually makes things easier for Trump.

One will make whatever case one needs to make, to justify one’s support for one’s particular candidate. :-)

“Besides, can’t we all rejoice that Bush is getting trounced? :)”
