This is thetate historical excited to be first . Check this out. So have a number of placards, a number of buttons. Glenna what iowa lacks in numbers and diverse at this time makes up for as the opening gate in a process that makes for informed voters. They take it very seriously. They ask pointed questions and expect thoughtful answers from the candidates. Glenna so right now all eyes are on what the turnout will be. You mentioned the weather. Its actually a beautiful cold, clear day here but theres this storm expected to come in after midnight, but the fear is thaha tonight it will get cold and start to be snowy and that people wil side not to leave their homes, so thats going to be kind of nothing that might effect turnout tonight. Such an it upping process, laurie with calvin, the republican primary is caucus, excuse he, is going to be a ballot vote. Everybody writes it down on a piece of paper, closes it p, its secret and. But on the democratic side that process wide open. Everybody seize people vote with their bodies. The room to support the candidate whose space that is and so its a very open public process and everyone knows how their neighbors are voting. So well see what happens tonight. We will be here throughout the afternoon and evening, and its a prett exciting time for democracyy in 2016. Calvin based on what you were just saying is it pretty easy for them to be suede ifeverybody else around is you saying trump, trump, trump and then all of a sudden somebody says, no, i want rubio or bush . Glenna you know, weve met people shocking to me, frankly, that have been suede in the past right there swayed on the night of the caucus but these people that are deciding g go and be part of the caulk really have done their homework. Weve been out at the town Hall Meetings today. Florida governor jeb bush had a town hall meeting. People were asking about fiscal responsibility and his plan. Somebody asked him about nuclear proliferation. Issues and who really want to know answers, and so it will be up to people swaying them to really make a convincing parget i dont think its going to be theatrics or drama that sweys them, based on people weve calvin it interest going to be an interesting process. Glenna milbergrg front row seat to history tonight. Senior political reporter Michael Putney for his perspective p so what do we look forward to tonight as they caucus . And that is a verb, caucusing. Michael well, you can caulk or it is a noun as well, a caulk, but what you have really to look for tonight is turnout. Who can turn out their troops to caucus and vote tonight p that is especially contribute crucial crucial for nonestablishment candidates with donald trump on the left, Bernie Sanders on the right. It should to be other way around. Both need their supporters come out tonighttnd those voters who have not caucused before trump needs angry white voters to come will not turn iowa. Bernie sanders needs those idealistic voters, mostcly College Students who normally dont vote at palm bernie tonight. Calvin and as we know iowa is not a very big state at all comparatively speaking when you put florida up against it but how many voters we talking about tonight . 100,000 . We are talking about 350,000, Something Like that. Well not talk about that many voters compared to souththlorida or many other states, and the 2012 caucuses about 122,000 republicans came out and voted. In 240,000 democrats. Now, compare those numbers to miamidade and broward registered voters. They total 2. 3 million between the two debates, a little over 1 million are democrats, about 600,000 registered republicans and 644,000 have no party theyre independents. And these numbers obviously dwarf the number of voters who are going to vote tonight was. Laurie relatively so small. So why is iowa historically so important . Mitchell because it is first, and when you are first, you really have the ball in yourr court, youve got glory, tradition, and thats what happens in iowa. A. It has an impact on the primaries that come later. New hampshire is next tuesday. If, say, marco rubio comes out eye solid third was tonight, and i think he wil thats going to catapult him into new hampshire. If ted kruse on the other hand doesnt do that well tonight, and i think his moment sum on the decline, i thinkhat his campaign is then in trouble in new hampshire, south carolina, nevada, texas as the other primaries unfold. Calvin likely, we have three seconds left. Ground game. Who has the better ground game . Michael u. S. Cruz has got a a great ground game but i dont think its going to make that muchch difference. Last thursdays debate he did laurie the marcos screw looking for for marcomentum. Thanks for your frequent perspective, michael.
