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?
AMEN!
Meanwhile over at the “non-political” Federal Reserve:

I am with Rand on this: time for a full audit...shine some light in there.
You’re not over ‘it.’ You’re over Iowa. Easy to explain away.
But how are you going to feel if he actually loses his momentum and the nomination?
We now know you cannot count on the polls.
CLINTON 670 SANDERS 666
LOL! Sanders is The Beast!
Let’s just assume that’s the reason for now...meaning the establishment candidates are far from done.
Honestly
If Trump won this, it would have been over with. Trump could have run the table and focused on Hillary/Bernie earlier and take them out.
But since Cruz won, this will just go on and on and on, Cruz, Trump, Rubio destroying each other making it easier for the Dems to prevail. Ugh, I so wanted this to be over with tonight.
Oh well
He had to hit a lot of buttons, and spread around lot of credit. May not seem special to you, but it certainly does to the staff.
Looks to be pretty effective for low info voters.
It may be sad, but if you don't go after the low-info voters, you absolutely will not emerge as the ultimate winner.
Say what you will, Rubio has an impressive record at beating expectations.
I was afraid Craphammer was going to have an orgasm right there on live T.V.
I’m not even joking in the slightest.
.
Carson has no money.
He has to fold his tent soon.
He should have done it before Iowa; I seriously wonder why he didn’t.
Polls in Iowa have been 10% off in the past.
Cruz has 8 delegates.
Trump has 7.
Rubio has 6.
It’s a three man race right now and Trump is well positioned in the states to come. We will see.
Why can’t you be HAPPY?
Cruz supporters are odd birds.
Can he still do that?

Cruz sent out emails to caucus workers that Carson dropped out of the race.
.
Megyn and Kraut are making fools of themselves.
They’re going to lose their audience.
What audience?
I don’t watch that garbage
CSPAN 99% of Precincts Reporting 11.32 CST
Cruz 51496 27.7% 8 delegates
Trump 45315 24.3% 7
Rubio 42938 23.1% 6
Carson 17341 9.3% 2
Paul 8430 4.5% 1
Hillary 49.9% 22 delegates
Bernie 49.6% 21 delegates
Last 13 polls showed Trump as winning Iowa....yet here we are with a Cruz win. So much for polls and why I see them only as a ‘minor’ indicator.
Yes, I’m enjoying Cruz’s win tonight, but I also know many things can change from here on in as well.....so as you say ..”It is the moment”....
Rubio is not even close to getting my attention other than watching the establishment now use him to get what they want....besides it doesn’t take much for his ego to get over inflated, quite easily in fact. Too bad he can be so easily bought.
Carson did suspend his campaign when his staffer was killed in a car wreck. Momentum was lost. But that happened to Carson at some other times also.
