First-time caucus goers could be the proverbial straw tonight in the Iowa contests. In the hot, tight, three-way fight for the top, caucus day breaks with Barack Obama holding rehearsals for the Democrats' weird stand-under-the-sign for your candidate routine, Hillary hiring baby-sitters, and John Edwards staying up for days like a frat boy.
It seems like everyone is terrified of the ghost of the Big Dean Caucus-tease of 2004.
