but I'll be watching the Sugar Bowl.

Wonder which one will be more raucus - the football game or the Iowa caucuses!

[jaxx]

One hour 26 mins into caucuses and no numbers yet. All saying too close to call.

[Drunken Irishman]

If the current results hold, which they won't, I'll be happy: Santorum, Paul, Romney.

A third place finish would be devastating for Romney.

Disappointed that there is absolutely no news about the Democratic Caucus. I get it's a formality - but turnout numbers, how many voted for Obama and for uncommitted, would be nice to know.

Yes, I agree. Just saw this tweet:

KrauseForIowa Bob Krause
All Pct 66 delegates are committed to Obama. Unanimous. #iacaucus

Can't get DMR caucus page to load, also front page won't refresh. I think they are on overload. LOL

Treynor goes for....Santorum! The surge is real. He beats M-Rom, 41 to 32. Newt & Paul tie. GOP rep: IA sends another "shot." #iacaucus

I think Romney is going to pull it out. He's been able to slowly chip away, and then expand his lead - no other candidate has done that.

I think DI might be right...Romney is the only one that has an undivided base of "moderate" republicans. These people only want to win and they know Huntsman isn't going to do it.

He very well may be right. It's weird that the DMR shows Santorum ahead, but they also show less reported too. This could be one of those "Dewey Wins" nights.

The #Obama2012 Iowa Caucus

By Derek, Iowa Digital Director on January 3, 2012
Thousands of Iowans made it out to the caucuses to see President Obama address the importance of the 2012 election how they could be the difference. Here are the highlights. If you're fired up after tonight, sign up to volunteer at barackobama.com/volunteer.

More pics of packed caucuses. There is the enthusiasm!!!

[sandnsea]

An elderly Republican I know said she is sitting it out this year. They're all too nuts for her and she's a veteran, pro-life Baptist. If she's disgusted with this bunch, the true moderates might not be showing up at all. I'm surprised Santorum is leading Romney at any point at all, but not that he's doing as well as he is. There was nowhere else for the religious voter to go.

I hope a bunch of repubs sit it out. Can't see Santorum doing well anywhere but a bible belt state from now on....but that is just me.

I don't know a single person like these right-wing Christians - they scare the crap out of normal thinking people here in the Northeast - including enough Republicans to easily give Obama several purple states including my NH.

We see some of that in west central IL, more to the southern part. Totally anti anything to do with reproduction...except making babies. I hope Santorum puts a lot of people off with his ravings.

Caucus night in Iowa

By Steve Benen

<..> Midnight: In the immortal words of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, “All right, we’ll call it a draw.” Whichever one of these two manage to come out on top, the results are effectively the same: Romney spent well over $4 million in Iowa, only to discover (a) three-quarters of Republicans still don’t like him; and (b) he tied a guy who spent about one-eighth the amount of money and was polling in single digits as recently as a few weeks ago.

Tonight’s big winner is obvious: his name is Barack Obama.

And with that, I’m calling it a night. I’ll have plenty more in the morning.

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/politic...034509.php

That's it for me too. Thanks everyone for making the DFP Iowa caucuses fun. You're a great group.
