Iowa Caucus

Today is a VERY PIVOTAL day in the upcoming Presidential Election. Its Iowa Caucus time! For those who aren't too sure just what this means, we have a short description here from Wikipedia:

The Iowa caucus is an electoral event in which Iowa residents elect delegates to the county convention to which their precinct belongs. There are 99 counties in Iowa and thus 99 conventions. These county conventions then select delegates for both Iowa's Congressional District Convention and the State Convention, which eventually choose the delegates for the National Convention. The Iowa caucus is noteworthy for the amount of media attention it receives during U.S. presidential election years: Since 1972, the Iowa caucus has been the first major electoral event of the nominating process for President of the United States. It has served as an early indication of which candidates for President might win the nomination of their political party at that party's national convention.

So, as you can see, the Iowa Caucus is pretty darn important, can't wait to see what the results are tonight. If you want to read more about it, Click Here for a story from NPR.
