Iowa Caucuses: The Democrats
photo

And so at last, it’s all about Iowa, at least tonight, as Iowa voters line up in party caucuses for the first real votes of the ‘08 presidential campaign. In an extraordinary wide-open election season, candidates have thrown horse shoes and flipped burgers, cocked shotguns and kissed babies.

Now, Iowa stands to deliver a first verdict.

We are all about Iowa today, too — bringing Iowans to the microphone to tell us what they’ve learned about politicking, about the men and woman who would lead the nation.

This hour On Point: Iowa Democrats tell all on Caucus Day ‘08.

-Tom Ashbrook

Guests:

Anne Kornblut, national correspondent for the Washington Post, reporting from Des Moines, Iowa.

Dennis Goldford, professor of politics and international relations at Drake University.

Ira Lacher, will caucus for Barack Obama.

Sean Larson, will caucus for John Edwards.

Nancylee Ziese, will caucus for Hillary Clinton.
