How Are You Planning To Watch\Celebrate Iowa Caucus Day ???
I'm goin to mom's for some pizza and beer, maybe even some popcorn.

Young Turk coverage on the Internet (and DU of course), and C-Span on the tube.

May even light up a stogie if Edwards takes this thing tonight, if I can find a decent one around here, LOL!

You?

:shrug:

BTW - I'll be rooting for a Huckabee landslide on the rePuke side of the ledger.

:evilgrin:

8. Hopefully There'll Be A Thread On DU
C-SPAN says they'll have cameras at several of the caucuses...and I remember them doing the same in past elections. Some of it can be like watching paint dry...but this year is sure to be a bit of a cliffhanger.

Hell...there's nothing really on to watch...so I'll bundle up by the boob-tube, have the laptop nearby with my favorite dozen websites going and enjoy the show.

I think the fun part will be to see the contrast in the party gatherings. I suspect the Democrats will be partyin' and rowdy while the Repugnicans look like they're attending a funderal.

16. By drinking liberally and waiting until morning for the final results.
I've heard enough about Iowa. I don't need to sit through 3 or 4 hours of blather from Tweedy & Company. Just the results please!
