Wolf Blitzer just announced that Indies/Repukes can register
at the door tonight and participate in the caucuses. That's his little invitation to his neo-con constituency.

I HATE this guy. He is such a tool.

1. Really?
I heard on CSPAN that only Registered Dems could attend.

2. Well...that's what he said.
But, the doors are closed, now, I believe, so it's too late.

3. They can register at the entry.
I am watching CSPAN now, and they were asking folks "Are you registered?", and giving them some forms if they are not.

4. it's not as bad as Tucker
with his 'Dean supporters are like drunk drivers' comment

If Soros wanted to do some good he'd buy up a media conglomerate and give us all a news source we could stomach.

7. Perhaps Soros should buy FAUX
But in order to make that happen, we would probably need some laws against foreign media ownership since I don't see Murdoch selling voluntarily.

If FAUX was no longer allowed to serve as the official dispenser of PNAC propaganda, the other networks trying to be FAUX Lite would also have to give up.

Until sanity is restored at the FCC though, I don't see it happening :(

8. Is Soros a US citizen?
LOL another Alien....the BENEVOLENT Alien...I guess...

Hell, as long as he's on our side, I don't give a shit what he's done. We should be careful, though, with him.

9. So called democrat James Carville agreed with Tucker
which was even worse.

Any candidate who won't be sendng Carville a paycheck scares the hell out of him. What a whore.

5. This is the set-up for later bashing of the winner
Whomever wins, Wolfie & Co will say that this is just what Rove wants, a candidate * can beat in '04.

What a transparent strategy!

6. They can register as Dem but
cannot attend republican or independent caucus. Not that it matters as Bush*, I believe, is uncontested in Iowa.

10. I was just in Iowa, and while this IS a possibility, you'd really have
to be a troll to un-register as a Repuke and re-register as a Democrat just to disrupt the caucuses.

Also, who would they offer their fake "support" for?

It's not a very good strategy for doing much of anything, but thanks for the heads up.

11. This is not breaking news. It's always been this
way in Iowa. And you can be sure Iowans already know this. I sincerely doubt that a lot of Republicans will be showing up to throw the caucus results to some particular candidate.

And I cannot imagine any scenario that works out to their benefit, because any one of the four or five front runners would beat Bush in a free, fair, and honest election. Which is the real issue, but nonetheless, I think we all care so much about getting Bush out of the WH, that we will all rally behind the eventual nominee.

12. Besides, caucuses are organized by neighborhoods
Somebody will always know somebody else, and the new faces will get noticed.
