Top Iowa politics source David Hogberg will no doubt have all the caucus that's fit to blog today, and should be posting final predictions from Iowa bloggers this morning. Tung Yin is also collecting data and making his own predictions before the betting window closes.
Among the Outsiders, The Dog himself will be hosting a caucus blogburst for Iowa bloggers, and is blogging up a storm on all things caucus. Just go on over and keep scrolling.
Jim Moore has been compiling a Big List of Iowa bloggers, and would particularly like to hear from any small-town or rural Iowa bloggers.
The weather is predicted to be pretty balmy tonight - around 6°F with the wind chill bringing it to -5°F, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Now, now, Moira!
Everyone in your new state is just so darned nice! In fact, this probably helped John Edwards... and hurt Howard Dean... Of course, I think Dick Gephardt is nice... but there you go!
Anyway, thank you for the plug and the nice words; I will commend Iowa bloggers on being... so darned nice! Most of the Iowa bloggers probably disagree with my political views, but unlike the typical right wing bloggers (who would publish your address, picture, and routes you take to work with a description of your allergies and likeliest "kill points"), IOWA bloggers just politely send along their links to their posts, which are also pleasant and... nice.
This comports with my own Hawkeye State experience, back when I collected taxes for the welfare state as a U.S. Justice Department attorney. In other states, I might get death threats, or at least hostility. In Iowa, people baked me cookies.
If your weather weren't so darned awful, I'd say the Hawkeye State was just about the pleasantest place in the world.

"Caucus, caucus, caucus
I made you out of voters
Caucus, caucus, caucus
I'm really glad you're over..."
