Barack ObamaEven those who aren’t politically savvy know about the Iowa Caucuses - perhaps that’s why they were covered on three different networks Thursday evening. The results are in, the votes tallied, and the outcome of the Caucus is pretty surprising. On the strength of these results alone, two Presidential hopefuls have already completely dropped out the race. That’s the strength of popular opinion…at least, in Iowa.

Republican was declared winner for his party early in the evening, with and falling well behind Huckabee in votes. Early Republican frontrunner had a dismal showing with only 14%, while former mayor barely even registered on the poll.

On the Democratic side, leapt to an early lead and held on, becoming the party winner before the night was all said and done. Surprisingly, it was not but who fell into second place. brought up the rear with a low 4%, while Democratic hopefuls and - who have both since dropped out of the race - received 1% and 0% of the vote respectively.

Tomorrow is voting time. The problem is, I’m still undecided. This stinks.

you think i’d get anything if i did a classifieds saying “WANT MY VOTE,GIMME SOMETHING!” lol.

in all seriousness, this is tough. i’ll be voting around 2pm central time, so i’ll have some more time to think about this.

If you live in a swing state your vote might matter but if not, than just fill in the blank because the beauty of the electoral college makes your vote worthless.  In all seriousness though, make sure you review whats important to you and make your decision on how the candidates handle that issue.  I know how I’m voting but I knew that right after I voted for Gore and watched the ensueing nightmare. 

Anyway, I hope everyone, no matter what your preference, gets out and votes tomorrow. It’s always been my opinion that if you don’t vote you have no right to bitch about current conditions.

Take a look at his location, bud. He’s a Lone Star like me!! But I *still* voted against da grain!!!! Woohoo! raspberry

Best of luck, Mr. Antman smile

ok, i gone done and voted. half the people at the jr. high didn’t think i was there to vote, cuz they thought i was too young. then i started to get upset, and they shot me with a tazer. after i woke up about 5 min later, they sent me to a booth and let me vote. then they gave me a donut for the inconvienence they caused me. i still managed to make it to class on time.

Some Answers:

Whichever party slate wins the most popular votes in the State becomes that State’s Electors-so that, in effect, whichever presidential ticket gets the most popular votes in a State wins all the Electors of that State.

Please explain this to me, since I’m new at all this.  Popular votes (made by us) translate to electoral votes, right?  Why do they even need electoral votes then?  Just use the number from the population?  Either way, they were able to determine that Bush won last time, by a mere 200K?  How did they figure that out, if it’s electorals that count.  I’m confused.
