And enjoy the process. Many of us don't get to have that experience.

Seriously, what better than to hear from the participants.

K & R

We needed one anyway.

California here. Hearing from people coming back to California after canvassing Iowa for Bernie. Everyone is saying how nice the Iowans treated them and how beautiful the surroundings were, especially those who were in the rural areas.

K and R

caucusing for Bernie.

We're in a small town and I'm expecting an interesting night.

There is a hard core Hillary cohort, but many of these very people turned a lot of people off in '08 with how nasty they were to those supporting other candidates. We don't generally have a lot of younger people attending.

Just remember, any one of our candidates is far superior to any of the clowns the other side has up, so no matter how the primary season turns out, we have the better candidate, be it Bernie (my personal choice), Hillary, or O'Malley.

I'm just glad that the million and seven pollsters, robocalls, and survey people will stop calling after today.

LOL! Iowa, hang in there, life gets back to whatever normal is after tonight.

Thanks for your Bernie support!

If it is someone I know, I answer.

If it is a number I don't know, I figure they will leave a message if they really need to convey some information or ask me something.

It gets really old after a while, we've had all of them, both sides here since this time last year and even before.

The good thing is that I've been able to get into small venues to see all three Dem. candidates speak.

Still, I miss having a primary, since I don't think the caucuses really are representative of the population as a whole.

I'm so excited and I'm not even there!!!

I am scared half to death I will screw it up royally.

Going to go over procedures once more and get ready.

Kick! Eom.

well wishes from Northern Ecuador to ALL the folks that caucus tonight.

I can't say I miss the weather but looking forward to the next time I see the rolling hills of Linn County and my family.

Hillary signs everywhere. Guess we know who the local Dem establishment wants to win.

So it does look like a larger turnout? Do you think it's enough TacoD?

It's going to be a nail biter to the bitter end.

But I was allowed in as a rep for Kennedy and I was allowed to lead our caucus.

Hillary 220
Bernie 172
O'Malley 12
Uncommitted 12

O'Malley is below the viability threshold and so supporters have to go to Bernie or Hillary.

Looks like Hillary will pull this off Even if all 24 O'Malley supporters and undecideds side with Bernie.

Hillary ended up with slightly more supporters than Bernie, but it was close enough so that both got an equal share of delegates (4 each). So practically speaking, it was a tie.

Thanks TacoD!

Thanks Vicardog!

Thank you much Luciferous!

Ward 1 (3 delegates): 2 Bernie, 1 Hillary

Ward 2 (2 delegates): 1 Bernie, 1 Hillary

Ward 3 (2 delegates): 1 Bernie, 1 Hillary

Thank you Bettie!

Cruz ahead by 3.7%

in the last few minutes Cruz has added .5%, and Bernie has gained a full 1%

Rofl! The suspense is killing me.
Thank you demwing.

We had I believe about 103 people here, excluding visitors or journalists.

HRC had a small lead over Sanders in our precinct , we're sending three delegates for Clinton and two for Sanders to county convention on March 12.

I think we had about half a dozen O'Malley people and half a dozen undecided. Sanders gained five of those to have 48, the others went to Clinton.

[Thank you 47 of74

All they're showing is Republican side

it's getting interesting!

Hillary 50%
Bernie 49% .....on CNN
