The Iowa caucus results were tallied in 2004 by a company that is headed by a man whose company was bought by Elron Electronics, the Israeli defense firm. I suspect that it will be the same this year. Don't expect to see any grassroots political activists doing the tally in Iowa.

We don't question the enthusiasm or the commitment of the people of Iowa and New Hampshire. But Iowa, where a huge turnout amounts to less than 10 percent of the population, is about 92 percent white, more rural and older than the rest of the nation.

I sincerely regret to inform you that today, the GOTV day, the biggest day of the whole Iowa campaign for the 300 students up here, was completely destroyed--and the circumstances point towards a deliberate sabotage.

Iowa, you have burst my bubble!

UPDATE; I no longer believe Huck is a good guy. I believe he is a devious opportunist who is very dangerous and needs to be out of the race. I hope the country has the sense to keep him down. SC, I fear you! :P

Many young voters experienced their first caucus tonight. We talked to three young Iowans about their caucus experience at Urbandale precinct 3, which met at St. Stephen Lutheran Church, 3510 72nd St. in Urbandale.

Forget the big bucks, give us the change!!

It has been a very long time since a political event created any sense of hope for me. The last time goes way back to an era, long before the the lobbyists nestled into the Capitol and the fate of America's future was transfered entirely to corporate hands.

A conservatism that recognizes stable families as the foundation of economic growth is not hard to imagine. A conservatism that loves capitalism but distrusts capitalists is not hard to imagine either. Adam Smith felt this way.

Ridiculous Media Bias - Ron Paul's Biggest Challenger

I'm watching CNN's coverage of the Iowa Caucus, and I'm just amazed at the how blatantly they're ignoring Ron Paul entirely.

The Iowa caucus is hardly democratic, but, with Christopher Hitchens of Slate, Washington Post's Howard Kurtz, and Dan Balz exemplifying the few exceptions most media outlets refuse to acknowledge the fraud or honor their journalistic integrity.

At a caucus, party activists go to a meeting where they start the process of nominating presidential candidates by expressing an initial preference for a candidate. Any registered Democrat or Republican can be a party activist and attend a caucus.

Voters weigh in for first time in Iowa on January 3rd in the nation's first caucus. Iowa may not always pick the winner, but its caucuses have ended some candidates hopes for the White House.
