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?
well from that Trumps got Rubio fast on his heels....
“I have done something I haven’t done in years except for a few times - I have CNN on now as I couldn’t deal with Megyn and Britt - even though I’m on my computer and not looking directly at them as I was earlier.”
Me too.
Havana and Hialeah.
AMEN.....the Lord be with us.
Cruz may win the "popular" vote in Iowa, but he, Trump and Cruz look like they're going to walk out with 5 delegates each -- a TIE.
That does NOT bode well going forward. Rubio has a moral victory here to build upon, and the GOP-E is going to seize on that like no one's business. You can bet the farm that everyone below Rubio is going to be pressured to drop out starting first thing tomorrow morning (if those calls aren't being made already) to consolidate support to Rubio.
This is NOT GOOD for any Trump or Cruz supporter.
Iowa has never picked presidents
Nothing has changed much...
NY Times 1983...
“His alternating skills of charming some individuals and riding roughshod over others has earned Donald Trump a reputation in some quarters as someone not to be trusted. He reneged, for example, on a promise to donate to a museum the Art Deco bas- reliefs on the facade of Bonwit Teller’TMs - bulldozed to make way for Trump Tower. It was a sin deemed unforgivable by landmark preservationists. But the only negative comments about Donald Trump these days are given off the record. [WHY - I wonder?]”

why? might have something to do with lawyers...
Oh yes!! He’s been on the ground and with a lot of hard workers.
I’m thanking God for this start.
Ground game indeed - takes the most effort and lots of souls going person to person. Bravo Cruz.
If Cruz wins this, it will be interesting to see Trump’s talking points going forward. Will he continue to obsess and talk about how he’s “leading all the polls”?
Those snapshot polls this far out are worthless....but it gives people something to talk about.
That would be sweeeeeet! :)
Here’s my prediction from earlier today, posted at HA:
Cruz: 26
Trump 22
Rubio 19
Paul 12 (!) [oops]

Kudos to Cruz for sticking to his guns on ethanol in CornBat country.
Rubio will never make it— total amnesty schumer guy. But he might make Trumps VP. Trump wins next three states HUGE!!. Did you all know that? Cruz has a good chance in Texas— That’s it. No other state. He stands wit Rick Santorum as the victor is that goofy state Iowa. Trump gets huge nomination!! 57% in Michigan!!!
Trump after his loss: "I meant to do that."
Sheesh....
Never underestimate the power of the dark side. . . . .
They haven’t picked a eventual nominee in years.
GILMORE FOR THE WIN WITH 10 VOTES!
DON’T LOSE HOPE!
