Well, no results yet...just building anticipation, lol:D :laugh: :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I was like - already?

Want to make any predictions?

I say it's between Kerry and Edwards! Gephardt doesn't stand a chance and Dean is waning in popularity!

:wavey:

I say Dean still has a good chance. But, at this point, based on what I read, it is a toss up between Kerry and Dean.

Can't I vote Bush?!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Fine...fine....

I'll just pick Buchanan

~Alex:laugh:

I think Kerry will come out on top. I've been watching all the coverage of the caucuses all day and the one thing I've been hearing constantly is the fact that Kerry is beginning to get all of the undecided voters on his side and the newly registered voters. They've been talking about how most of his rallies are made up of young voters (18-24), women, and veterans. Also, they've been talking about the ads and how Kerry's has been the most effective because he doesn't mudsling and he talks about his service days. They were talking about how the candidates were holding up with their past being brought to light and some of their past mistakes, and they said that Kerry has done amazingly well because they can't dig up one bad thing about him.

And that reunion on Saturday can guarantee him more votes. :laugh:

Where's that bitchslapping icon?!?!?!

:laugh:

"If you want to live like a Republican, vote Democrat."

Speaking of which, I saw Bychanan this weekend on some show lambasting the Bush Admin. for trying to spend $1.5 billion to support marriage. He clearly thinks W is a free spending liberal in this regard. Oh politics and bed fellows!!!!

:laugh:

Currently on CNN's homepage ( www.cnn.com )

"Although analysts warn that polls ahead of the Iowa caucuses are unreliable, surveys show Sens. John Kerry and John Edwards, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and Rep. Dick Gephardt in a dead heat to claim the first contest to select the Democratic nominee for president. "

Everyone over 80 in Palm Beach County on election day in 2000.....

"Hmmmm....I'd like to vote for Gore.....this arrow is pointing to this punch hole.....but do i have to punch that hole? there are other arrows on this ballot...which arrow do i follow? I really should have taken my spoon full of metamucil this morning....i'm just reallly confused.....i'll just vote Buchanan.." lmao!!!!:laugh: :laugh:

~Alex

All of their frustrated children...

"Godammit! Why do I even waste my money! Start taking the damn gingko!"

:laugh:

LMAO!!!!

"This looks like a hanging chad.....but is it really hanging? Is that a dimple? Could be a crumb...wait, its moving, could be lice....wait, no, wait,....still could go either way....chad...dimple....crumb...lice...."

"My instincts tell me I'm an 80 year old Liberal, but the hole next to the nazi-conservative is really calling my attention....wait...i have a thought coming....nevermind, just gas."

~Alex:laugh: :eek:

Oh my God! Dissention - that quote is pretty funny!

"We do not want 8 years of America run by a Colon, a Bush and a Dick."

:eek: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

:laugh: ;) :wavey:

:laugh:

Go Pat Go is on the warpath with W.

Winner=John Kerry.:)

From foxnews.com just now:

"Entrance polls show early support for Kerry with Edwards, Dean and Gephardt following"

WOW....51 percent of the tally in and Kerry is winning...

Kerry 37%
Edwards 33%

Dean 18%--------WOW....This seems to be the most interesting result of the night

~Alex

What did you say about Dean, Strandie? :laugh:

I told y'all he would go down faster than the Titanic, but no one listened. :laugh: j/k And Gephardt's campaign is officially over.

I am ecstatic about Kerry!!! But I don't want to jinx it, so I'll shut my mouth.

I know - 18% is seemingly low, even with only 51%, for the front runner of the past month. But, these are not elections and the voting is different (see story at http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/...ain/index.html ) AND Clark and Lieberman skipped this one - so the effect of their presence on Kerry's lead cannot be determined.

In any event - WTF with Edwards in second place?

Props to Kerry and Edwards for swinging the undecideds

~Alex

His heart will go on:distress:

:laugh:

~Alex

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

LMAO!

Woohoo!:] CNN is reporting TWICE as many Dems voted in the caucuses than in 2000. And that fabulous southern gentleman, John Edwards is second. That guy is going places.
Bye Howard.:wavey:

Wave goodbye to that Clark banner already! :laugh: :wavey:

According to Larry King, Gephardt was scheduled to appear tonight on his show, but refused to go on two minutes before it went on. He's throwing in the towel. :nod:

I like Edwards. I had tickets to go to a very small fundraiser (about 50 people) for him at a friend's house about this time last year. I get a sinus infection and could not go. I would have liked to have met him.

Well, this is just Iowa and much larger fish are out there to fry. But Iowa was a big deal for G. Ashame really because basically he is well liked by all politicians and is considered an honest person.

If Kerry wins NH, I'll take it down. You have my word. He's got to pick Edwards as his running mate though.

Yeah, I like Gep. He's been in it a good long time though.

I don't want Edwards, I want Kucinich and his pie charts. :nod: :wavey: And a nice cabinet appointment to Braun.

I agree, Edwards would make a good running mate as he is popular in the South and Kerry is not in comparison. Interestingly, Dean would make a good running mate for no one.

Who do you think he'll endorse?

~Alex

Actually, Kerry has been slowly going up in New Hampshire. Can't wait to see what'll happen. :D

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I just spit out my soda!

:laugh: :laugh:

~Alex

I think he will stay in through NH and then endorse Kerry. I mean they work together for goodness sake and are both elderstatesmen.

Not really, IMO. I think Iowa is the biggest "get." The political climate in Iowa pretty much speaks for the rest of the country. But if Kerry can get NH, too, he's golden. :D

When you live by the sword . . . . :laugh:

I still maintain, however, that although this certainly does not help him, Dean is far from out of the national race.
