It has been a year of campaigning, a year of speculation and a year of spending millions of dollars and it has all been leading up to this moment, the start of the primary vote in Iowa.

At this point there is no clear winner on either side, no definitive sign that before the caucus begins at 7:00 PM Central time we will know any more than we know now. Plenty of predictions have been made, speculation about which candidates will drop out after tonight, but put short we just don’t know. With close poll numbers and dozens of scenarios for why any of the top three on each side can make it out, this is going to be a down to the wire moment.

So get yourselves some coffee, have a big lunch and make sure to hit Refresh a whole lot on Election Geek as I will be putting all the latest in both the blog and the sidebar.
