	2004 Iowa Democratic caucuses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, the 2004 Iowa Democratic caucuses (held January 19) were the first major test of some of the leading contenders for the Democratic Party's nomination as its candidate for the 2004 presidential election.
		The initial county caucuses assigned delegates for further caucuses with delegates not being bound to vote for the candidate.
		Actual delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be chosen later: 29 at the district caucuses on April 24, 2004 and 16 at the state convention on June 12, 2004.

		Iowa political leaders often say Iowans have the job of reducing the field of presidential candidates for the rest of the nation.
		As the 2004 caucus season opened, President George W. Bush was unchallenged in the GOP caucuses while a field of almost a dozen Democrats were seeking votes or testing the waters.
		Iowa has moved from the 1976 position as a springboard to the White House to a contest that, as Tennessee Sen. Howard Baker put it, "winnows the field" for the rest of the country.

	Worldandnation: The few, the cold, the Iowans who caucus
		IOWA CITY, Iowa - Pat Kennedy expects the coffee to be hot and the passions to be strong when she opens her home to Democrats eager to caucus and begin choosing a nominee for president.
		Unlike primaries, where machines count the votes, the Iowa caucuses are dynamic and intimate, a cousin of the New England town hall meeting.
		Democrats have a complex system, one that uses a mathematical formula to calculate support - and ultimately award delegates to county, state and national conventions - based on percentages.

	Howard Dean - dKosopedia
		On January 19, 2004, Dean's campaign suffered a blow when a last-minute surge by rival John Kerry led to an embarrassing defeat for Dean in the 2004 Iowa Democratic caucuses, representing the first votes cast in primary season.
		As late as one week before the first votes were cast in Iowa's caucuses, Dean had enjoyed a 30% lead in New Hampshire; accordingly, this loss represented another major setback to his campaign.
		Iowa and New Hampshire were only the first in a string of embarrassing losses for the Dean campaign, culminating in a disappointing third place showing in the Wisconsin primary on February 17, 2004.

	Iowa caucus results leave Democratic race wide open (1/20/04)
		It became apparent over the last weekend that many undecided Democrats were breaking for Kerry and Edwards, and, indeed, the news media sponsored-"entrance poll" of caucus attendees arriving to vote indicated that four out of 10 Democrats voting made their decision in the last week and among those voters, Edwards and Kerry were tied.
		Historically, Iowa caucus campaigns have been relatively clean affairs with few negative attack ads or mailings, but this time the Dean and Gephardt campaigns in particular went after each other with a vengeance, with Kerry joining in to a certain extent as well.
		It's true that Iowa is a state with a far older than normal electorate, more rural and small town, and, to be blunt, less yuppie than where Dean does much better, but he still dropped in the closing weeks of the campaign.

		Because Iowa is a neighbor of Gephardt's Missouri base, is heavily dominated by labor unions, and he carried Iowa in his 1988 run for President.

		In fact, Gephardt is thought to be in a no-win position for Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses, scheduled for Jan. 19.

		DES MOINES, Iowa – John Kerry rode an 11th-hour surge to victory in Iowa's kickoff presidential caucuses, upsetting Democratic front-runner Howard Dean and stunning caucus favorite Dick Gephardt.
		He pledged to plow ahead, saying, "on to New Hampshire." Gephardt, winner of the 1988 caucuses, was falling far short of the victory he needed to keep his political career alive.
		Just weeks ago, before the Iowa race turned testy and tumultuous, Dean was the undisputed front-runner – and anything less than a victory for him would shake up the crowded field, raising questions about his Internet-driven organization and anti-establishment message.
