Any reports from the ground

Caucus

I'm caucusing tonight. We go into a room, people give a speech about their candidate, than we cast ballots. Then we elect delegates and some other party stuff.

I'm in the Quad Cities. Predicting Paul support in Iowa is like herding cats. We could get 5 percent or 30 percent.

The only signs I see in the Quad Cities (about 250,000 people) are Obama, Hillary, Edwards, Romney, McCain, and Paul. The democrat signs vastly outnumber the republican signs. The 3 republicans I mentioned all have about equal signage.

Paul support in Iowa is extremely difficult to discern because it is so grass-roots. Moreover, there is little central organization or evangelical organization. Paul supporters are all coming on their own accord.

The only thing I can predict with confidence at this point is that Obama is going to crush the democratic field, at least in this part of the state.

I hope Paul supporters all show up. If he does we are an easy 1,2, or 3.

Hillary signs are out in force in cedar rapids. I have a 10 minute drive to work and passed 2 seperate groups of people each with a 4' x 8' Hillary sign + smaller signs. Didn't see any ron paul signs.

Weather is very nice out today compared to the last couple of days.

You wolnt have long to wait before you see some Ron Paul Signs in Cedar Rapids RonPaulAirCorps.com
