Only about 125,000 Republicans will participate in the Iowa caucus tonight

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/12001/1200278-372-0.stm

Iowa's Republicans will begin the work of selecting convention delegates in evening caucuses rather than in the more conventional day-long primaries like the one in the Granite State. About 125,000 Republicans will travel in the Iowa cold to places like the legion hall and the Masonic lodge, there to take their stand and make their mark.

Seems like of of hubbub to find out what 125,000 Republicans think, doesn't it?

Slowly I've worked my husband away from being a life-long, Kansas-born, evangelical conservative yahoo
into a Democrat. I've worked on my sister as well. She's kind of a 3rd way type, but only because
MSM is all she's ever watched. I've turned her on to Olbermann/Maddow/etc., and she's about
to check out DU.

One person at a time. It's the least I can do before the old body gives out.

Next on my list is an apolitical brother, but to be honest, I'm glad he missed 2011. What a lousy
year all around...
