This is my guess as to the cause of the most hilarity tonight. Trump supporters showing up late and not being let in. Also Trump supporters causing a giant ruckus when they've got to listen to all the boring procedure poo poo before they can make 'Merca great again.

They rang up the Clinton County Republican Chairwoman at like 1am in the morning to get results for that county because they were so desperate to call a winner between Romney and Santorum. I don't think it is included in this video, but not long afterwards (presumably in response to calls/twitter etc from viewers) Wolf suddenly speaks up to say,"And I just want to... I just want to assure our viewers that CNN did NOT force Edith Pfeffer to get out of bed to give us the Clinton County results."

Iowa was a beautiful disaster in 2012.

John Kasich also took hostages in a last ditch effort to get ANY votes. Unfortunately for him, he was located by law enforcement easily when he couldn't help but mention Ohio in his ransom letter.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Not sure if they're livestreaming like they did for the LA Gov election, but the AoSDDHQ site is by far my favorite place to watch results come in: http://www.decisiondeskhq.com//

If they're not livestreaming guess I have to deal with CNBC :(

If the supporter in question is registered in that precinct, I think so. That's why the Bernie campaign was talking about giving college kids rides back home so they could caucus, then taking them back to school.

I think Bernie sanders will lose by a slim margin, with women who don't care much about politics until the last moment being the deciding factor.

Former Rep. Mike Rogers said on CNN that he has been speaking to people on the ground in Iowa and they have “never had so many calls” from new voters asking about where they have to go to caucus. He said “if that continues and they actually show up, it’s going to be a Trump night.” He added that Cruz has organized reliable conservative voters across the state and it will be hard for anybody to beat Cruz’s ground game.

I have it on CNN because I'm still an idiot who has vague memories of it once being an actual news channel, but I'll be keeping an eye on C-Span when I can to hopefully get some of that phone-in goodness with the unflappable hosts.

Elections are rarely about the issues, we just have to look back to 08 to see an obvious example-- polling clearly showed Obama's appeal as the first black president to be strongly appealing to many voters. They've done many studies on this, and the overall conclusion is pretty depressing to any wonk; the vast majority of voters act on pretty much everything but a solid understanding of the candidates positions on important issues. Never underestimate the power of identity politics in branding, and that's what makes people come out.

As for tonight: Bernie just isn't getting the numbers he needs to overcome the caucus effects- Hillary for the Dems and Trump, Cruz, Rubio on the Repbulican side.
