- Today's Lightning Round comes to you from on the ground (well a fold-out couch actually)... in Los Angeles, but a bunch of other members of Team TAPPED (we're like superheros except that I don't think you want to see us in spandex) are riding dogsleds around the frozen wastelands of Iowa and New Hampshire. See Tom on why Huckabee will come in second and Dana on what policies Clinton is focusing on in Iowa.
- Jonathan Cohn breaks down the closing arguments.
- Rumor has it Thompson will go to sleep for good and endorse McCain, which will have a big impact in New Hampshire if it's true.
- More evidence that second choices will be the deciding factor.
- News that Richardson may be instructing his supporters to pick Obama as their second choice is fairly surprising, but important if true. I guess we'll know soon enough.
- Romney is the target of dirty tricks.
- Still confused about just what's happening tonight? You're not alone. See here for an explanation that, much to my surprise, does not involve feats of strength, bird entrails, or happy days trivia contests.
- Results should start coming in sometime between 8:00 and 9:00 central time tonight, and TAPPED will be covering them as they come in. The caucuses begin at 7:00 so we should start getting turnout data around then.
