And they’re off!

The 2012 presidential election officially begins today with the Iowa caucuses, where Ron Paul or even Rick Santorum could pull off a victory in this kick-off to the Republican primary.

A victory by Paul or Santorum could prove to be the end of the road for Michele Bachmann and John Huntsman. But it could also be a bit of a victory for Mitt Romney, as it would thin out the contest and prevent his closest rivals from receiving a much needed boost with an Iowa win.

OK WASSUP! will provide full coverage of the Iowa caucuses here tomorrow!

Sidethought: I think Mitt and… Read more »

Hmm. Well THAT didn't take long!Romney Backtracks: "I'm Not Predicting A Win" In Iowa""Well actually, if I get 25 percent, if that turns out to be the case, that will most likely be the highest number. So winning is just fine. Now, I’m not predicting a win. Maybe I get 20 percent, someone else gets 25 [percent]," Mitt Romney said on NBC's "Today Show" this morning.Last night, Romnet told supporters at a campaign stop that "we're going to win this thing." [….]Real Clear Politics http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/01/03…Don't know if Mitt is going to win tonight (he may very well come in First). But um, if HE'S the so-called *Conservtive* standard-bearer the Repub establishment expect to champion their cause and defeat Pres. Obama!?! *DONT_KNOW* Well okaaay.
