I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!

Thank You! Shock The World!

Isn’t WHO the station that once employed young sportscaster “Dutch” Reagan?

Are all the caucus events in the evening? At what time do they start? Do all the precincts have to phone in results at a certain time?

[doug from upland]

I believe it is.

[Syncro]

I believe they start at 7 pm Iowa time

Central time.

Two hours earlier than real time

Have a good time tonight!

I think Fred’s got a 2 or a 3 in him. I’d love to see a 1, but I’m not crazy about the chances.

Even a strong 4 should be okay, considering who the top 3 would be.

[xjcsa]

What time can we expect to see some numbers start coming in, or do we have to wait until tomorrow?

The candidate speeches start at 6pm; voting is about 7pm; results should start coming in around 8pm CT. We should have a good handle on the results yet this evening.

Real time? LOL!!!

Everyone knows that Mountain Time is God’s time—we’re in God’s Country, don’tcha know.

:o)

My wife JenB and I will be caucusing in Cedar Rapids. Here things are decentralized with the even taking place at dozens of places around the city (mostly the usual polling places). Things start right at 7 so we will be there around 6:30. I will post something when we get back. I don’t know how many people my area covers or just how many supporters will be there. If no one else does I will stand up and speak for Fred myself.

[Choose Ye This Day]

I hope you’re right about your Republican top 3. I believe McCain will come in ahead of Giuliani, but otherwise, I’d agree with your prediction.

[Loyolas Mattman]

That brings a smile...

Here’s hoping that Ronaldus Magnus is with Fred tonight.

Did anyone catch the girl (no offense, she looked like someone’s intern) on H and C last night talking about how the Reagan coalition was over? Kimberly something, perhaps?

[Choose Ye This Day]

Hooray for Cedar Rapids! (My birthplace hometown.) Thank you for standing up for Fred.

Do you have to give a brief speech or something?

[xjcsa]

What is your gut feeling on how Fred will do tonight?

I think he'll be one of the big surprises of the night; I think he'll do very well.

In the rumor mill, I did hear from a source inside the Ron Paul campaign that supposedly the Huckabee campaign counts itself as having 22,000 "confirmed" caucus-going supporters, with Romney at 21,000 and the Paultards close behind. We'll see how much truth there is to that.

Any live coverage links on the Internet?

I don’t have/want cable, but do have broadband.

Although it would be fun watching the alphabet networks trying to rationalize a Hillary third place finish.

I’ll check and see if I can find some links.

[Syncro]

Well than I guess Specific Time is an hour earlier than God...

GO FRED GO!!!!
