Tonight, The Young Turks and Brave New Films will be covering the Iowa caucuses live. Starting at 7PM ET, we will simulcast a webstream on both sites. There will be wall to wall coverage of the Republican and Democratic caucuses in Iowa.

Here is a list of our guests for the night who will help us analyze the election before and after the results come in:

Richard Wolffe, from Newsweek

Adam Green, from MoveOn.Org

Sam Seder, from Air America Radio

Faiz Shakir, from Think Progress

Matt Stoller, from Open Left

Sean Paul-Kelly, editor and chief of The Agonist

Todd Beeton, from MyDD

Katrina Vanden Heuvel from The Nation

Ellen Brodsky from News Hounds

Steve Clemons, from The Washington Note

Ari Melber, from The Nation

Matt Yglesias, from The Atlantic

Richard Wolffe, Ari Melber, Adam Green and Matt Stoller will all be live in Iowa reporting from the field. Ben Mankiewicz and I will be hosting in Los Angeles. Wes Clark, Jr. will join us in the studios for analysis.

Brave New Films will also simulcast the webstream and provide a live discussion forum and latest exit poll results. Together, we will cover this caucus night as thoroughly as any media outlet in the country.

This should be one interesting night. It's very rare to have an election where there aren't reliable poll results going in to election day. Usually we have a good sense of who will win before the election is even held. But not this time. That's part of what makes Thursday night so exciting. Well, if you love politics, you'll love the live Iowa caucus coverage on The Young Turks tonight.

Maybe, Cenk. You are going to put it on tape & DVD's aren't you? It will be a hoot comparing the Young Turks's view of what is happening & what happened in Iowa with the spin the MSM will dispense over the week end. The MSM spin can be spread on the fields of Iowa to nourish the corn. The corn will be used for ersatz fuel which will be sold at a premium price.

Awesome, I can't wait to tune in!

I'll pass this along as I'm sure there are plenty of others who'd be bored to tears by the typical tv talking heads.

Keep An Eye on Biden
Posted by BLAKE DVORAK
Just in case Joe Biden comes back from the dead in Iowa -- but I suppose a candidate has to be alive, politically speaking, first -- let this post serve as my post-Caucus day defense to readers who wonder why no one saw it coming.

Well, a few, including of course Biden himself, see a faint glimmer of chance:

First, Reid Wilson sat down with Biden in Indianola, Iowa, for an interview. There's also this article from Time's Jay Newton-Small:

Biden has seen standing room-only crowds, like the one in Ames, across the state in recent weeks. And the Ames audience was twice moved to its feet in ovations for Biden's stump speech -- a surprisingly brisk 18 minutes compared to Obama's nearly hour-long closing argument, Hillary's 45-minute speeches and Edwards' typical 35-minute spiel. Biden by comparison spends more than an hour answering questions, a strategy, his communications director Larry Rusky says, that is starting to pay off.
There's also the boasting coming from the campaign in an email blasted out earlier today:

* 500+ people yesterday in Des Moines; a "first tier crowd"
* 300 Biden backers in Mason City

* 250 enthusiastic supporters in Dubuque; "a scene more typical of the events of democratic front-Runners"

* An "energetic crowd" in Waterloo ; leads to "an endorsement from a key Black Hawk County Democrat"

* 200-strong crowd in Council Bluffs

There, now I feel more comfortable facing readers on Friday morning. The silver lining of course for Biden is that he doesn't have to win. He doesn't even need to be close. A close fourth would be victory enough for a candidate who hasn't topped 10% on any poll in the past year.
