Iowa Caucuses: The Republicans

It is Caucus Day in Iowa — the first formal vote of Election '08 and the long race for the White House. If the Democrats' complicated caucus procedure looks like a square dance, the Republicans' is pretty straightforward — show up; vote.

But the GOP contest this year has been anything but a straight shot. Mitt Romney has spent big with no guarantee of a win. Mike Huckabee has grown big on a shoestring. National poll leader Ruby Giuliani is a no-show.

It's turmoil time in the GOP — but also time to decide.
