The first votes of the Iowa caucuses will be counted on Thursday night. The caucuses, in which Democrats and Republicans get to choose their presidential candidates, are the traditional pre-elections leading up to the presidential elections in November.
Traditionally, the Iowa primary is the first to show who America will likely vote for to take the party nominations to become the next President of the United States. The New Hampshire primary is next as it is on Jan. 8.
The problem they have been having has been the lack of turnout in Iowa. With the importance of this caucus, many analysts are trying to figure out why so few people actually vote in the caucus.
In recent polls, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has the lead for the Democratic nomination over Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Sen. John Edwards (D-NC).
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is in the lead for the Republican nomination over former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX).
