... the caucus voters have now entered the hall ... there's a lot of milling around ... a group is starting to coalesce ... no, wait, it's the Duggar's ... damn it, I'm in Arkansas.
Since most of the coverage will be of the GOP, if I did twitter, I'd let you know what is happening in the Iowa democratic caucus in about an hour but even if I did tweet, I think it's not allowed inside the event.
MSNBC Poll has L Ron Paul in a landslide -- I see all the Ron Paul kooks are out in full force
You folks are as detached from reality as the occupy dope heads.
Birds of a feather I suppose.
Paul can get his devotees out, however kooky they may be. They will show up to caucus.
Yeah....
Whoopie for them
It's Romney Obama all other talk is nonsensical!
The country will be very taken with Mitt Romney. He represents the best of what our great country has to offer!
Yet, if you look at the exit polls, Paul is getting way more votes from moderate conservatives and independents. Who has the best chance of beating Obama again?
Have fun tonight Jody!
Will do, NDD. Looking forward to our President's live-feed message.
Geez, this close to leaving for the caucus and the republicans are still calling Iowans. Good old Steve King's folks telling me how important it is to repeal ObamaCare and only....before I hung up. Yep, it's important to make things easier for insurance companies to make huge profits by trading people's health on the stock market, by allowing them to cancel people's coverage when they get sick, by allowing them to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions even if that condition is just being female, by giving health care decisions back to insurance administrators instead of doctors.
The Iowa GOP Clown Show is still going on however, this is not a Caucus at all. The GOP Elephants are marching in, and the GOP Circus Music is playing loud. The "Party Of NO" has voted NO to Middle Class Tax Cuts. The GOP Clowns have said No to tax increases for the very rich. The Party of NO has said YES to the Bush Tax Cuts, and no financial regulations for Wall Street Bankers/Investors. The GOP Clowns have said Yes to economic attacks on the Middle Class, the Working Poor, the elderly, and the disabled. The GOP "Carnival Clowns" is not a reasonable political causus. Instead it is a bunch of dancing political clowns. A vote for any of these GOP Clowns is a YES vote for the Koch Brothers. It is a vote for the "Goofy Grover" Tax Pledge! A vote for the GOP Clowns is a vote for an attack on the poorest of our citizens who are unable to defend themselves properly. A vote for the GOP Clowns is a vote for attacks on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and Social Security. Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The Party Of NO has got to GO!!
I think more republicans voted for that civil rights act than democrats did -- I think so?
I think Lincoln was republican too. Well I guess not all of us are racist but you go ahead you Obama and the democrat party paint em all paint every one of those tea bagging redneck republicans racist
Glad to see where the libbies are looking to bring the debate of ideas to.

make you a $10,000 bet Romney loses in Iowa
@Rob in ma the republican party of today is much different than the one of just 5 years ago, do you really think that it is the same party of the 60s and the 19th century?
Romney is setting up his teleprompter for his speech.
Well, well a teleprompter.
Still trying to figure out the difference between Obama & Romney. Just a couple of corrupt politicians owned by corporations and Wall Street.
Ron Paul, 2012
Romney needs a prompter for a victory speech? Pleeezzze...................! He's now never allowed to refer to President Obama's use of prompter ! ! !
Is Luke Russert on crack? First nothing but football ... and now Rapture talk right out of Thessalonians? He must have inherited some highly incriminating stuff from his father to still have this job.
Pat Robertson? Mike Huckabee? Rick Santorum? Can the Iowa Republican caucus become any less relevant?
