organized by candidate:

Obama

ABC: Said on "anything is possible" about his IA finish, "this is the beginning and not the end." Talked about campaign's strength in upcoming states, Kenya, race. On Clinton-- "I'm glad she's fired up, and I'm glad she is ready to go. . . . I want everyone on the change bandwagon right now." "My voice has pretty much left me."

NBC: Said he hopes for “a good evening” but again declined to predict a win. “I think it will be very close.”

CBS: Said he expects "huge" turnout if crowds are an indictaor. Calls it a "close race," says he wants to do as well as possible, but in some ways has already won because of amount of energy, excitement behind campaign.

CNN: Said he expects "to do well" but declined to say he expects to win. Said top priorities would be including Republicans and addressing Iraq and health care. Defended endorsement by fmr SC governor Hodges, a lobbyist, saying he hasn't lobbying "related to anything we're doing."

MSNBC: Said he's so excited it wore out his voice, thinks it's likely that caucus turnout will be historic based on what he's seeing on the ground. Avoided hitting Clinton, asked about his comments linking opponents to Bush. Joked that his kids care more about Hannah Montana and getting a dog than the race.

Clinton

CBS: In Wed. night taped interview, said she's "new to this process" in Iowa since her husband didn't compete there, harder for her because she's running against two people who have been "working in Iowa for a long time."

Edwards

CBS: Said "honest interpretation" of caucus is that any one of the three of them could come in first, second or third (though if he wins he said it's significant because he was outspent 5-t0-1, got less coverage).

NBC: Acknowledged being wrong about Iraq war, other Senate votes. E. Edwards said first lady is a spectator's role, “it's not a test of me.” She disagreed that the election is about judgment and experience, but about change. Called her husband “the man of action.” Watch it above.

MSNBC: Called Obama's posture on health care reform and lobbists "naïve." E. Edwards chided the hosts for focusing more on Clinton/Obama than her husband.

CNN: Called for investigating possible price gouging by oil companies, changing laws if needed. Discussed plan to withdraw even training troops from Iraq, "of course" he can make recommendations without ever visiting. Said he'd name an independent cabinet willing to disagree with him. Insisted "I am the underdog" in IA due to rivals' spending.

Romney

ABC: said he is the only GOPer fighting for the top in both IA and NH, and said 2nd place would be just fine and doesn't predict victory. Asked about negative ads, he repeated immigration and pardon contrasts with Huckabee. Said Edwards' "Two Americas" is divisive. Watch it above.

NBC: Said "I'm planning to win tonight." Argued with David Gregory over his "negative" attacks saying he was just showing his positions against his opponents' stances, brushes off criticism from conservative columnist David Brooks.

CBS: Not as confident as on NBC, said he thinks it's going to come down to "one or two guys" and (he said he's surprised about this) Huckabee is the "guy I'm going to be neck and neck with." Also said he's the only GOP candidate who has a shot at winning both states, caucus turnout could be tough because of the cold. Watch it above.

MSNBC: With wife by his side, said winning IA, NH important (whoever wins the nomination is going to have to win both states to win the White House). Said he hasn't been running a negative campaign ("far from it"), but reiterated differences between him, Huckabee like it was coming straight from one of his ads. Ann Romney laughed when asked about the perception that the Romneys are "perfect."

Huckabee

CBS: Characterized surge as not just an Iowa thing -- said he's leading in Florida, Texas, Delaware and Michigan. Addressed recent slip-ups by saying a lot of impromptu statements he's made have been "blown out of proportion by opponents."

Fox: Poorly explained Leno decision by ignoring issue, overcomplimenting host. Defends decision to pull anti-Romney ad but still air to the press, says Rollins didn't influence choice. (Also doesn't take the bait on a question about Rollins saying he wanted to knockout Romney's teeth).

Thompson

CBS: Said he got into race at a "traditional" time, others just started early (and some aren't getting the return on their time, money). Won't make predictions about Iowa finish: "We'll have to count the votes before I'm satisfied." Watch it above.

CNN: Denied story about possibly dropping out, backing McCain. "I've never said that, I've never implied that, in public or in private." Talked oil prices, CIA tapes. Repeated that having too much "personal ambition" is a danger for candidates.

Fox: Again denied story about dropping out, saying it was probably planted by rival campaign. "There is no such Thompson adviser. It is not something I have thought about or discussed with anybody." Maintained he's doing well in Iowa, said he didn't get in the race late, others got in early. "We'll see whether being in everyone's face for two years and spending $100 million is necessary."

Richardson

CNN: Saw undecideds breaking his way, acknowledged Clinton has foreign policy experience, "but I have more."

MSNBC: Said he's hoping for support from working class voters, moderate voters, undecideds. Thinks Pakistan will play a part in caucus decisions.

Paul

CNN: Acknowledged not knowing why grassroots following hasn't translated into broader support. Downplayed idea of being "energy independent," called it old-fashioned. Again backed trading with Cuba, defended adding earmarks for constituents because "I'm their representative."
