Tomorrow. Ill have more on that in a few the countdown is on. 13 hours from now voters will be at their caucus locations.

Jerry is live in des moines right now and you caught up with some people who cannot participate in the caucuses tonight. But they just had to be here to see it unfold. They had to be here.
