have to say this is the first caucus I've watched live and it's pretty gripping... but this is just ONE state.... the USA must have some stamina to keep going until the actual election!

on paper sanders shouldn't be competitive , he is 74 years old and openly describes himself as a socialist in a country where that term still has major negative connotations |

So what has happened?
Has the Republican race become a three way race? Cruz and Rubio have a better on the ground organisation. Mistake for Trump not appearing on national tv republican debate? Democrats a two way race? |

erratum: "Rubio" speech is full of banalities, generalities no specifics no substance.

You might want to get used to this guy - he may be a regular on your tv for at least the next five years. |

Apparently Hilary is waiting in her hotel room.
Not sure where Bill is - interviewing one of the new interns possibly?

Perhaps they should recaucus. By the age of some of the Clinton supporters I saw earlier Sanders may actually be ahead amongst caucus goers who are still alive!

So does that mean Jeb Bush is out? I thought he was one of those tipped for success early on.

we'll probably see alot of sucking up from rubio, cruz and trump to the other candidates as they start to drop out , like we saw from both rubio and trump towards huckabee who has already announced he is suspending his campaign, as they hope to gain their supporters

Rubio was not expected to come in with such a high vote in Iowa. He was only on something like 15% in polls. Massively over performed with 23%. Trump massively under performed. He was supposed to win with 31% and only got 24%. It's the gobby supporters distorting polls again. Rubio has now established himself as the establishment candidate so as others drop out he should pick up their votes.
Are US polls usually pretty accurate though? After our last General Election, I just don't believe in polls any more. |
