Calling all Yanks in Ireland….

Tomorrow is the big day for Americans voting in the first stages of the Presidential election. It’s in Iowa, and voting there comes down to the strangely quaint, 18th Century confines of a Caucus: that is you declare your vote publicly. Indeed, if you are American (or even if you aren’t I guess), Richard Delevan has established the Ireland Caucus, so that denizens of our good isle can declare their intentions remotely. Voting ends at midnight our time, so that the Ireland Caucus will declare before Iowa! For a running commentary on events up to Super Tuesday, you can pick up Richard’s take on Brassneck.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
