#1 Interesting that Fred Thompson finished third, without the huge media circus surrounding third-place Hillary.

#2 Facinating that even the third-place Republican beat ALL the Democratic contenders combined.

All that money, energy, and media coverage for a grand total of 13,420 Iowa Democratic voters.

#4 bobby, the dems vote isnt total votes its caucus delegates, which is not a one to one turnout thing, its my understanding dems drew 200,000 and repubs about 125,000. But last night was the orange bowl and this is Big 12 territory, most iowans stayed home. the total votes were somewhere around 312,000 from a potential electorate of 1.2 million....which is about 27% turn out. in the final analysis this was the most costly per vote election ever.

#5 You can get either Republican or Democratic vote counts by county just by clicking the appropriate buttons. Sums up the Iowa system eh? ;)

All I can say is that like eating 2 boxes of tricuts in one day, after 24 hours thank God it is over.

All that money, energy, and media coverage for a grand total of 13,420 Iowa Democratic voters. Like shackleberry said, must have stayed home and watched the Orange Bowl.

#7 This race will be different from the last ones for the past 50 years. I think the Iowa and NH primaries will choose the second and third place winners. They don't show the republican party, only the RINO side of it. SC and Florida will be the kingmakers this year. Fred will need to win one or both to make any headway in super tuesday. Whichever Republican wins those states, will be the candidate.

As far as the dhimocrats go, I think Iowa and NH will be their kingmakers. Expect to see Obama or Edwards as the candidate for them.

#8 Our caucus site drew far more than anticipated on a very cold night, exceeding building capacity and parking. We walked at least half a mile one way and the huge line of cars backed up on the highway all gave up. There was an energy I've never seen outside the football stadium.

#9 It ain't over til the fat lady sings.

Yeah, but Hildebeast has gotta be singin' the blues about now.

#10 Kinda warms the cockles of my cold, black heart.

OTOH, I am NOT ready for another Arkansas governor.

#11 What's in Fairfield? It seems to be the heart of RuRon Paul support in Iowa.

(Speaking of which, I see Ron Paul signs everywhere. Yet the guy gets no actual votes. Who the hell is putting them all up?)

#12 Huck seems to have won in the counties that get WHO radio (from Des M) reception. There is a program on 4-7pm with a guy named Peace who was pro Huck and anti Mitt.

Jefferson county must have a lot of kooks worried that the NAFTA supercorridor will use their county as a borrow pit (or hazmat depot site).

#13 Re Huckleberry. Someone on another site pointed out that Iowa also voted 25% for Pat Robertson last time around.

#14 The Huckster's been running as a populist (and using Identity Politics, to boot). Apparently a good number of Iowegians eat that shit up.

#15 Can someone explain why the hell Iowa even matters? It's pretty much no where even in comparison to my California County population wise.

#16 It matters because the hoard of mediots that go cover the thing demand that it matter. They've been tromping around Iowa, following this campaign and that campaign from bakery to Sons of Norway lodges and who knows what all for the better part of a month... they are going to get some kind of mileage out of it.

Because if not? They've wasted their time. In Iowa.

(Not that I hate Iowa, I'm trying to channel my inner Manhattanite.)
