I don't think she's too worried. Considering she almost skipped Iowa altogether, I don't think she minds a 3rd. She's leading in most other states and nationally.

So was Howard Dean.

The best part of all of this is that no matter what happens in November, Bush will be gone, gone, gone. :drool:

really??


why would the GOP even bother to come out in 2004??

That isn't the point.

We have heard for the last 8 yrs about how important it is to get out the young people vote. And every time, it doesn't happen, even though they recruit Hollywood and half the recording industry. If Obama managed to snag as huge of a proportion as they claim, of voters that nobody else has ever really managed to bring out, then yes, it says something about their GOTV at least.

Wow, wouldn't that be something. Here's hoping.

In 1988

bob dole came in 1st

Pat Robertson, TV preacher came in second (all things through Christ)

and a sitting vice president GHW Bush came in 3rd
and eventually won the nomination

and had a lop-sided victory over Iowa 3rd place winner Dukakis see below
February 8, 1988 - Richard Gephardt (31%), Paul Simon (27%), Michael Dukakis (22%)

Dodd drops out.

That's not a surprise. Other than his name, I don't think most people have the slightest idea who he is.

As Wolf Blitzer said, "He came in in a distant, uh, a distant uh, distant place." Very eloquent, Wolf.:lol:

Are you auditioning for MSNBC?



actually, you can catch one of my shows on MSNBC ...

(am serious)

but, no. i stand by my statement. you wanted a pastor as president, you said religion mattered, and guess what? you got a pastor who's *really* worried about illegal immigrants coming over the border from Pakistan.
 
The turnouts:

Projections showed a turnout of 220,588 for Democrats, compared to 124,000 who participated in 2004. Most projections had estimated turnout would be about 150,000.

Turnout was also up on the Republican side, where projections showed about 114,000 people taking part.

The last contested Republican caucuses in 2000 drew 87,666 in caucuses won by then-Gov. George W. Bush.

That eastern border with Afghanistan is quite porous according to him. He hasn't said anything about the western border, so I'm not sure what country occupies that location at the moment.
