Mr Hootington: Jul 24, 2008; I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY

Tonight will be the girlfriend and mine's first caucus. Very excited about this. '08 my job wouldn't let me have the time off to go, have since found out that is illegal in Iowa. They have to allow three hours to go and caucus. '12 the democrats didn't really didn't have one.

I actually got a number of people excited at work to go and they might go to there respective caucuses. The plus is most either like Sanders or Trump. higher voter turn out will make America Great Again.

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. I don't know how much that's hurting or helping Hillary in this race but it's certainly something that has been heard on the campaign trail. Never underestimate the power of identity politics.

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.

I just meant more that if you didn't give a poo poo enough to pay attention until now, you probably aren't going to go stand around in a church basement during a blizzard to argue with strangers and so i don't think that non-involved women will be an edge for hillary. I do think she will win though.

So tempting to scoop some Cruz argh.

Rubio's the better buy at those numbers. Cruz aint winning, everything points to a strong first time caucus-goer turnout.

Between January 4 and February 1, 3,651 Iowans registered as Republicans ahead of the caucuses, according to data released Monday by the Iowa secretary of state's office.

I don't think anyone who doesn't care that much about politics is going to turn up to a caucus.

I believe 2008 holds the current record for caucus turnout, and a massive 10% or so of the total population turned out.

I'm going to laugh so hard if this is a new record but it's all on the Democratic side and Trump comes in 3rd.

None of Trump's first timers will show up with the intention of "caucusing" or voting or whatever. They'll be there to make America great again.

Final predictions from 538 on the race that matters:

quote:

Polls-plus assigns Trump a 10 percent chance of finishing with 15 percent of the vote or less, which could be a campaign-ending embarrassment.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/iowa-is-the-hardest-state-to-poll/

tbh I think that 10% outcome would be the most fun to watch in the short term.

Yes! Although this is still the combination of many other factors, most importantly how many fucks do his supporters give to actually come out and caucus?

Same but for all of them.

Although I guess it's a good thing the people who don't know are googling it. I hope the answer it spits out to #1 is just that Venn diagram of people who worked under the previous Bush administrations.
