Excerpt:

Over the weekend I posted over at Bleeding Heartland noting an Edwards campaign press release that talked about a big increase in their online fundraising. There weren’t too many specifics in the release, and some folks were curious as to amounts. When I emailed the campaign, they were pretty mum on details and […]

From the random asides department: Is it telling that Sen. Clinton’s thank you email to Iowa supporters went out on today (as in this afternoon) rather than the night of or the day after the completion of the Caucuses? I got my email tonight at 5:54 PM.

Cross-posted at Bleeding Heartland.
Maybe I’ve missed something in my absences from blogging over the past few months, but has the Register ever really done a serious news or feature piece on Iowa’s bloggers and citizen journalists? I mean, I know we threaten their credibility and their readership by getting scoops, insight, and news out […]

Matt Yglesias and Ezra Klein both note the importance of Barack Obama’s win in Iowa last night by emphasizing the fact that a black man just won in a state that is described as overwhelmingly white and lacking diversity.
Matt writes:
“One crucial thing Barack Obama did last night was get white people to vote for him. […]

Props to my former colleagues at Iowa Independent for getting the top three positions right with their last power rankings. They predicted an Obama win with Clinton and Edwards essentially tied for second place. While Edwards has enough of a lead for second, its small. Basically the final results were:

Obama: 37.6%

From Todd Dorman this morning on his blog in his discussion of “losers” from last night’s caucuses:
“Republicans — Could this party be any more screwed up right now? Huckabee was a great caucus candidate, but he could be a general election disaster, especially if Obama wins. Romney and Giuliani are fading fast. (Did you notice […]

You can talk about the results here on Bleeding Heartland. Or you can talk about them here. Whatever trips your trigger.
I’m amazed. I’ll have a lot of thoughts tomorrow. But wow, record turnout of Democrats and independents. The youth vote showed up. Iowans showed up, on both sides of […]

Bradley Whitford, who played Josh Lyman, supports Chris Dodd and has even been cast in a campaign video about the FISA debate that Dodd led.

What the hell is this? Does the Washington Post really need to profile David Yepsen? To me this just reeks of more insider coverage on people who really don’t matter in the actual caucus process anymore. David Yepsen doesn’t report on the caucuses so much anymore, he just judges candidates.
