Live Web Coverage of the Iowa Caucus

posted by Cenk

Tonight, The Young Turks and Brave New Films will be covering the Iowa caucuses live. Starting at 7PM ET, we will simulcast a webstream on both sites. There will be wall to wall coverage of the Republican and Democratic caucuses in Iowa.

Here is a list of our guests for the night who will help us analyze the election before and after the results come in:

Richard Wolffe, from Newsweek

Adam Green, from MoveOn.Org

Sam Seder, from Air America Radio

Faiz Shakir, from Think Progress

Matt Stoller, from Open Left

Sean Paul-Kelly, editor and chief of The Agonist

Todd Beeton, from MyDD

Katrina Vanden Heuvel from The Nation

Ellen Brodsky from News Hounds

Steve Clemons, from The Washington Note

Ari Melber, from The Nation

Matt Yglesias, from The Atlantic

Richard Wolffe, Ari Melber, Adam Green and Matt Stoller will all be live in Iowa reporting from the field. Ben Mankiewicz and I will be hosting in Los Angeles. Wes Clark, Jr. will join us in the studios for analysis.

Brave New Films will also simulcast the webstream and provide a live discussion forum and latest exit poll results. Together, we will cover this caucus night as thoroughly as any media outlet in the country.

This should be one interesting night. It's very rare to have an election where there aren't reliable poll results going in to election day. Usually we have a good sense of who will win before the election is even held. But not this time. That's part of what makes Thursday night so exciting. Well, if you love politics, you'll love the live Iowa caucus coverage on The Young Turks tonight.

Do you have access to the first round count? (none / 0)
Since all Democratic precincts have a first round vote to determine if a candidate has the 15% are you getting those figures? I think the Democratic Party keeps these figures secret and only reports the precentages after all the <15% voters make their second choice selection.

Since the Democratic Party keeps the first round figures secret they are interferring with the news reporting of the caucus and preventning the facts from being reported.

Is Edwards the most progressive? (none / 0)
Well the question is whether Edwards's recent conversion is real or not. He was not progressive at all when he was in the Senate. Nor was he progressive when he ran for VP in 2004. Now in 2007 he has had a conversion experience and is speaking liberal populism. Is it real? Would he fold or deflate if elected?

Unfortunately,  if he were to be elected I don't trust Edwards not to betray the populist voters who would support him. I hope I am wrong about Edwards.

Huckabee won't last. (none / 0)
Even if the Republicans nominate Huckabee, his Christian craziness and unethical behavior as governor will come back to haunt him.

Iowa is only the first out of the gate. (none / 0)
Look, Iowa is really very meaningless in the long run. This is just the first out of the gate in the horse race. We haven't even got down the first straight links much less to the first turn.

Strong starts by three contenders who are very close don't mean much yet.

Unless you know the 1st round results (none / 0)
You can't count out the results of the Kucinich and Richardson transfers because together they may have been the 7% difference ahead of Clintion and Edwards.

A Woobamaping - Down goes Hillary! (none / 0)
Now if only Thompson takes McCain for 3rd I will sleep peacefully.  It may of just been me but it looked like Ben just walked off the set of Boogie Nights...

Good job tonight (none / 0)
Wanna say thank you to Cenk and the whole TYT crew for putting a great night of coverage together.  Congrats to Obama and Gomer Huckleberry.  It's awesome to see a black man win in Iowa.  I can only imagine Bill trying to get some from Hillary tonight and how well that's not gonna go.....Good night and good luck.

Great job with the coverage (none / 0)

I laughed, I cried, I cheered :-)

It was great to see Ben again, he was all fired up.

Much more interesting than mainstream coverage.

I'm looking forward to watching you guys from work come New Hampshire.
