Poll question: How are you feeling about 24 hours away from the Iowa Caucuses?
I'm so pumped up about this that I think I need to go out or hang out with my GF more...

4. I am eagerly looking forward to tomorrow night, but
I am hoping my lower back pain does not interfere with me trying out my new shotgun at the trap range this afternoon.

5. Other - somewhere between your first and second options.
I'm really excited because I love watching politics like this, but not because of any expectations for a candidate in particular.

7. My Candidate is Kuchinich and Ill be surprised if he does 3 percent.
Of the main 3 candidates, I have no horse in the race, and will accept whoever wins, but I dont like any of their healthcare plans.

9. Nervous as hell. Stakes are highest with Biden
He said he's dropping out if he doesn't show well. I wouldn't blame him if he did, but I hope he places in the top 3.

:scared:

10. A mixture of things:
Cynical, because I don't expect the best man or woman to win.

Pissed off and disgusted, because while Iowa is one small state, their results have a greater impact on the process than many other states, including mine. Resentful and bitter, because I DON'T LIKE HAVING MY CHOICES NARROWED BEFORE I GET A CHANCE TO VOTE, AND I THINK PRETENDING THAT THIS PROCESS IS SOMEHOW REPRESENTATIVE OF A "DEMOCRATIC" PROCESS TO BE GROSS HYPOCRISY.

Hopeful, because if the worst can at least be held to 3rd or lower, perhaps something better has a chance.

Resigned, because the best possible outcome from my perspective will be that a marginally acceptable candidate can go forward to win the nomination.
