It may be difficult to believe that the next president of the United States has been working their way through iowa. Charlie szold, Iowa Republicans you have 10 to 20 candidates stumping across the state. You have millions of dollars in tv ads, newspaper ads and radio ads. Were at the center of the political universe right now. 2008 had record caucus turnout. Anticipating how many people will show up monday night is difficult, even just one day away. Josh levitt, Iowa Democratsl we havent had a caucus quite of this magnitude since then. So, thats one of the reasons its so tough to give an accurate number ahead of time. But getting to your caucus site isnt that simple. You likely wont be headed to the last place you voted. Charlie szold, Iowa Republicans the parties are responsible for putting on the caucuses. So, we have to find the location, we have to staff the locations. Its something thats totally separate from the normal election process. You can log onto the iowa democrat or republican website, and enter your address for where youll caucus. If your address doesnt pop up, work backwards from the secretary of states website. Josh levitt, Iowa Democrats its fun and its important. We have a very lively and engaging process, and if someone has never been to our caucus on before, its very simple. Both parties recommend getting to your location at least an hour ahead of time. Charlie szold, Iowa Republicans there might be a long line waiting to get in. Now, dont be discouraged. Wait it out. You know, 30 minutes, youll be really happy that you did, and you got to caucus, and hopefully helped elect the next president of the United States. And as thousands prepare for caucus night, both sides expect the numbers to approach record levels once again. Josh levitt, Iowa Democrats were expecting a very strong turnout. Obviously in 2008, we had an exceptional year with very high turnout and what were seeing for many months now is that people are really energized and enthusiastic about our candidates. Jacob bam Party Members say its not a Party Members say its not a huge Time Investment to find out which candidate youd like to caucus for.

Is there any way for that to be fixed . About the only way its going to be fixed is for us to put people in office who have real integrity. A lot of real energetic people who really care about the future of this country. I believe that our speakers at our caucuses are very passionate people. I believe theyre going to be very effective.
