Campaign 2008  
Aired: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 10-11AM ET

Voters in voting booths (AP)
By host Tom Ashbrook

And so it begins. At long last, the presidential candidates are in the starting gates in snowy Iowa and New Hampshire. But the first big votes of Election '08, this week and next, may decide... nothing.

Democrats could essentially tie! Republicans could fight all the way to the convention floor in September.

For the first time in 80 years there's no incumbent president or VP in either party. This election is wide open.

This hour, On Point: we look at the long game past Iowa and New Hampshire to Super Duper Tuesday and beyond, strategies, Hail Marys. It's a rumble out there.
