As the great Mr. Burns would say.."Excellent!"...n/t monmouth Jan 2012 #1
Actually it was 98.46%, even better! FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #27
You will be accused of stifling dissent in 4...3...2...1... Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2012 #2
Nahh. They are busy taking Greewald down... bluestate10 Jan 2012 #5
I haven't kept up with the Greenwald story. Too over my head right now. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2012 #6
Apparently calling people to come caucus is "stifling dissent." joshcryer Jan 2012 #14

LOL I particularly love the comments accusing people of being "condescending," "insulting" Number23 Jan 2012 #58
Looks like. bluestate10 Jan 2012 #3

I love revisionism nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #7
Where did the OP mention Summer Hathaway Jan 2012 #9
"People here were predicting ahead of time that with SO MANY Democrats frustrated or angry, nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #11
That seemed to be the thrust Summer Hathaway Jan 2012 #16
If they got 15% it would have been news nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #17
No news was made, indeed--and no news, to my view, is good news. nt MADem Jan 2012 #46
"Cenk and his followers failed miserably in their attempt to prove that SO MANY voters are anti-Obam Number23 Jan 2012 #59
I'll give credit where it's due Summer Hathaway Jan 2012 #77
You got that right. Number23 Jan 2012 #89
Guess there aren't too many unhappy Iowan Democrats out there. Old and In the Way Jan 2012 #8
As opposed to loud, angry forum posters Union Scribe Jan 2012 #10
I wonder if Cenk will comment on this? JoePhilly Jan 2012 #12
He did, both last night and today nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #13
Yes, was 2% above or below his expectations? JoePhilly Jan 2012 #25
He just pointed to it nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #36
I miss Keith too. JoePhilly Jan 2012 #40
That was Al Gore nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #41
I understood that. JoePhilly Jan 2012 #43
Then perhaps some of us can serve as filers nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #70
That makes sense ... JoePhilly Jan 2012 #90
Gore did ask Cenk, at one point, why he was so focused on defending Paul... Spazito Jan 2012 #76
Quite frankly I must have missed that part nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #82
It really is worth looking for... Spazito Jan 2012 #83
That would have been interesting to watch ... wish I could get JoePhilly Jan 2012 #92
I don't get it on my cable but am able to stream it... Spazito Jan 2012 #93
I support the President avidly and I wouldn't even drive 2 miles for this caucus banned from Kos Jan 2012 #15
25,000? That's it? In 2008, the turnout exceeded 239,000, far above the 124,000 in 2004. AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #18
2004 and 2008 were incumbancy numbers. Apparently there was no caucus in 1996 for Democrats. joshcryer Jan 2012 #21
What do you perceive as "incumbancy numbers"? Do you reject the Washington Post's numbers? AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #23
In 2004 and 2008 Bush was an incumbant. In 2000, only 2001 voters voted for Gore / Bradley. joshcryer Jan 2012 #24
Don't Forget The Crossover... KharmaTrain Jan 2012 #26
It otherwise appears that 61,000 - not 2001 - turned out for Gore / Bradley in 2000. AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #28
I stand completely corrected, I was going by the wikipedia page... joshcryer Jan 2012 #71
The turnout wasn't that great. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #30
Way to obliterate the goalposts! They just keep moving..... Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #45
Look at how many turned out for the GOP, and they actually had a contest. MADem Jan 2012 #47
"why NOT go to ... instead?" Because these are Iowa friends and neighbors. They show up to AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #49
So going to a football game with family and friends is same party as voting for a dem candidate in a snooper2 Jan 2012 #50
Not the way that Obama is playing it. AnotherMcIntosh Jan 2012 #53
I am afraid that I don't take your point. A sports contest can always produce an upset. MADem Jan 2012 #62
I feel dumb. Wait Wut Jan 2012 #69
When there's more than one candidate, it's never "in the bag." MADem Jan 2012 #75
I don't recall anyone here predicting that there would be a significant number of "uncommitted." joshcryer Jan 2012 #19
First off, the plan to have uncommitted as a choice mmonk Jan 2012 #20
Since one of the campaigners for the uncomitted movement at the last minute switched to Ron Paul... joshcryer Jan 2012 #22
Cue the 'Occupy Iowa changed their plans' excuses... SidDithers Jan 2012 #29
The complaint wasn't the GOTV effort.. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #31
25000 is a huge number IMHO, it's cold and Obama wouldah won anyway....this is a good thing uponit7771 Jan 2012 #33
It was all about organization. AtomicKitten Jan 2012 #34

"money and fame" Renew Deal Jan 2012 #37
So he has it in the bag? We don't need to campaign for him? ClassWarrior Jan 2012 #38
I came to this conclusion after the last election zipplewrath Jan 2012 #39
The "true left" is 75% of the nation. ClassWarrior Jan 2012 #48
I love this post! Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #42
Just 25,000 people? BeFree Jan 2012 #51
Not sure if you have a point. It's a foregone conclusion that Obama's the nominee. That anyone.... Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #54
My point BeFree Jan 2012 #57
You have missed the entire point of this post Number23 Jan 2012 #61
Yet 4 times showed for the clowns? BeFree Jan 2012 #63
Where are you coming up with this? Number23 Jan 2012 #87
Do you get the sense that these talking points were prepared beforehand, just in case "Operation Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #64
Nah BeFree Jan 2012 #66
Dude, you must not understand the process. The reason 100,000 showed up for the GOP is because FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #73
Your nonsensical talking points aside, the math just doesn't favor you or "Uncommitted". Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #81
Uncommitted won!!!... SidDithers Jan 2012 #85
It was as I thought. You really didn't have a point. Tarheel_Dem Jan 2012 #65
Uncommitted won BeFree Jan 2012 #67

For perspective, that's 25,000x as many people that caucused for Clinton in 1996. joshcryer Jan 2012 #86
Well done Iowa. lpbk2713 Jan 2012 #44

So are we finally done with the idiotic "primary Obama" movement? DCBob Jan 2012 #55
Please. Read this thread. There are apparently a bazillion totally "legitimate" reasons why Number23 Jan 2012 #60
Cenk will be soooo disappointed lillypaddle Jan 2012 #56
And that's a good thing. Kahuna Jan 2012 #79
Well, I certainly should hope so, given the amount of resources the Obama camp dumped into it, MadHound Jan 2012 #68
I guess all this proves is that most Democratic Iowans who caucused aren't idiots. MjolnirTime Jan 2012 #72
I love seeing this thread at 68 mzmolly Jan 2012 #80
We ARE the 99%! FarLeftFist Jan 2012 #84
I had to laugh at an OWSer who said "we are the 2%" :) joshcryer Jan 2012 #88
HA! Rex Jan 2012 #91
These "woe is X, Y, and Z" threads are really starting to get irritating... Fearless Jan 2012 #94
