Off the I-15

Caucus fever hit the newsroom at the Desert Dispatch on Thursday just as it was hitting interested horserace watchers across the country. And even though no one from the newsroom is hopping a red-eye to farm house in Boone, Iowa to caucus with the rest of Iowains tonight, we did conduct a very informal poll about how the candidates will fair in tonight’s caucus.

The newsroom thought former republican governor Mike Huckabee would fare the best out of GOP candidates tonight. On the Democrat side, Illinois Senator Barack Obama edged out New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

Here’s a breakdown of who we think will come out of Iowa ahead of the rest. How do you think the results will shake out?
