Iowans are not surreal. Some candidates and many of the media are. I’ll be at my precinct caucus in three hours. There’s an outside chance that you won’t see me on CNN, but try to enjoy the show anyway.

The thing I hate the most about the Iowa caucuses is that the media pretends they have ANY IDEA about where the delegates will actually end up. In 2012, the first round of voting was basically a three-way tie between Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum, but after the county and state conventions, Paul ended up with 22 delegates to Romney's 6. (Everybody else was shut out.)

Tonight is the first step of the caucus process, not the end of it. (Though that doesn't make for much of a story!)
