John Edwards smile looks very forced. Can't say as I blame him.

[Auntie Bush]

I really don't know how Liz keeps from crying. I wonder if Hillary will look forced too. I feel for the losers...not that they are really losers1

[annie1]

1. they gotta be taking that personal. it really sucks for him to have lost...

so fully to some, pardon my french, random dude.

4. This is just one ef n state caucus. AND

if he had received 15% or less than he should be worried.

Better yet if he came in 5th maybe 4th or less than he should be worried.

[annie1]

8. yeah, i just meant the state, b/c he's worked the state so hard and...

worked it in 2004. :(

10. Iowa has only been a factor since 1976

And the candidate with the most Iowa delegates did not win the nomination every time.

12. Bill Clinton only got 3% of Iowa in '92.

Tom Hayden got 37% of Iowa Dems that year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_caucus#Democrats

I think this one is really too close to call. NH will sure be interesting to see.

13. Wasn't that Tom Harkin? Iowa Senator

[intheflow]

14. Duh. My bad!

I was reading something by Tom Hayden earlier today. :blush: But it also might be time for me to step away from the computer at this point--it's been a long day!

I also didn't realize Harkin had been the Iowa Senator. I wasn't the politcal junkie back then that I am now. This makes a lot more sense now. Thanks! :hi:

16. He didn't run there - Harkin was a favorite son

2. I am listening but not watching. Feel bad.

7. It's not over yet

Do you really think this one state will decide who will be president? Quite frankly I'm a bit tired of Obama's bi-partisan crap. That approach doesn't work and Obama apparently hasn't figured that out yet. The Repugs see in Obama someone they can pressure into doing their dirty work with the proper prodding. Edwards scares the hell out of the repugs, thats why they are playing up Obama. That and his center left theories.

[Colobo]

11. Obama's winning so far, and that's what matters.

[Auntie Bush]

3. Poor Elizabeth...looks so sad. How is John keeping his cool?

but, all three Clintons must really be bumming! From inevitable to third place? Unbelievable!

[midlife_mo_Jo]

5. Actually, he looks more like he's so tired he's about to fall over.

When was the last time he got more than two hours sleep?

[Auntie Bush]

9. That's a good point.

Hillary up now! She's not looking happy either...neither is Bill.
Madeline A. looks like she is taking it pretty hard too. I didn't realize she was so emotionally involved. She's really loyal to the Clintons. I hope she congratulates Obama. Hillary is doing good. She's one tough lady!

[hedgehog]

15. Not in the last 36 hours! He and Elizabeth must be exhausted. nt

[jzodda]

6. When is it fun to lose?

But hey he's making one HELL of a great speech
