The eyes of this nation, and even some others, will be on Iowa on Tuesday as the first official voting of the 2012 presidential campaign takes place.
The winner in Iowa doesn't always end up with the party's nomination. Rather, the Iowa caucuses often serve to narrow the field. Political observers say three people can punch a ticket out of the state and remain competition in New Hampshire's primary and beyond.
Six Republican candidates have been actively campaigning for Iowans' support in the caucuses. On the Democratic side this year, there's no suspense. President Barack Obama will be the nominee.
