Over 220,000 people went to the Iowa caucuses for Democrats tonight. How many people went to the Democratic caucuses in 2004? 120,000.

We're talking about not quite doubling the participation here folks. This is a victory of campaigns in general. I'm sure all of our friends who are working on the Obama campaign are very energized tonight, as they well should be. However, the campaigns in general should all be exceedingly proud of themselves for the tremendous job they did involving people in the process of choosing our next leader.

This has been your general, feel good post of the evening.

For those who love numbers, check out the exit polling data over at MSNBC.

p.s. I already talked about my feelings on Huckabee.  That said, I can't help but love Romney getting trashed in Iowa.  Sorry for the negativity, but sometimes its nice to see a bad guy get hit hard.  Everyone reset your countdown clocks.  103 hours and counting...
