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

Does FoxNews have a live streaming video ? I can’t find it on their site.

Not tonight. Local Iowa channel 8 is a good live source:

At least he didn’t outspend everyone 20 to 1(much of it his own $$$) to come in 2nd.

I take it you are referring to Fred Thompson - and if you are, that is right on.

It is like this:

Crikey...Giuliani up to 11%...

Obama 34.52; Edwards 31.61; Clinton 31.13

The NEW Mod Squad!

1 black, 1 white, 1 blond!

The same kind of people who believe in the Prayer of Jabez, the Bible Code, that Christ was born literally on December 25th and that angels aren't God's messengers but cute little kids with bird wings.

That angels comment made me laugh out loud. Some angels are like the Cambell's Soup kids with wings. They roll their eyes coyly when they know you are looking at them.

Well, if the only reason that you voted for Huckabee was because you didn’t like Mit Romney, you voted in the wrong caucus. If Huckabee wins, we’ll have the choice between two very liberal candidates, that will signal the end of conservativism forever.

You may think that you are protecting the right to life, but in reality you have voted to end it, by handing the election to the Democrats.

Thanks for the report from the streets!

CNN

66% of the precincts in.

Obama ahead at 35%

Clinton & Edwards tied at 31%

[MplsSteve]

Considering that McCain spent virtually no time in Iowa, he’s certainly polling better than expected.

[Eddie01]

I switched to CNN, THAT’S how bad Fox Freditude is.

[MNJohnnie]

I'd rather pay taxes than pay interest on the deficit

Then you are a economically illiterate. Tax hikes do not reduce deficits. Despite war and recession, our Fed deficit is currently lower now then it was for the 1st 5 years of the Clinton regime.

[seekthetruth]

The MSM can’t ignore Fred if he comes in third, and still have a love fest with Hillary when she comes in third. How can they call it with only 41% of precincts in???

[LibertyRocks]

Yep, that’s why I put in the one ward they were showing part... The precint is counting according to wards right now... It’s not a final tally or anything like that.

[Old Sarge]

He was on Fox and Friends this morning. Did good!

[PapaBear3625]

The big lie of the MSM was that Thompson was not viable. His numbers put the lie to that. He didn't even do much campaigning in Iowa, and he's got decent numbers

This will enable him to do well in fundraising, and pick up momentum

[djf]

Thanks for the report!
Maybe the blonde should run.

If there was a good lookin blonde running, folks might vote for her!
But there isnt’.

[RockinRight]

Some voters are truly deluded apparently. Or, they are so fixated on the fact that he’s a Baptist they ignore everything else.

[Mrs. Yuleeyahoo]

I sure don’t like Slick Willard. I will not vote for him. I will not vote for him if he gets the nomination either. I have held my nose and pulled the leaver too many times for the guy with the R behind his name. I am not going to compromise my principles again! They need to start getting decent candidates on all levels. Right now, Thompson is my man!
