the iowa caucuses are tonight. >> this is a key part of the process. iowa is the first state to hold caucuses and it's been used as a measuring stick of sorts for presidential campaigns during the primary season. yesterday's final full day of campaigning was very busy to say the least. more than a dozen candidates on both sides held nearly 40 events across iowa just to getç an ed going into the caucusing tonight. and the republican side, many analysts say a high turnout will favor donald trump. a low turnout and ted cruz and marco rubio could benefit. yesterday, the gop hopefuls delivered their final pitches to iowa voters. here's a listen. >> 16 years and you haven't picked a winner. please pick a winner this time. okay? i'm going to win. >> we've been burned over and over and over again. the stakes are too high. we cannot be burned again. >> this is not about making a point. it's about making a difference. this election has to be about winning the future. i know we will. >> democrats bernie sanders and hillary clinton highlighted the contrast between

one of the biggest questions about the iowa caucuses is why iowa? state's population is obviously smaller than the city of los angeles but being first it carries an outsized influence in presidential politics. mary snow is here with a look at the iowa caucuses and how they work. mary. >> quirky is a word you've used to describe the iowa caucuses. democrats and republicans have their own systems. republicans have a secret ballot and the process for democrats is more physical, why iowa has a prominent role? you have to go back more than four decades. yes, it's known that iowa is the first in the nation to weigh in on the presidential race but less well-known are the quirks behind its caucus system. starting why it became such a draw for presidential hopefuls. in 1972 it was only by chance that democrats in iowa scheduled their caucus earlier than everyone else. >> good morning how are you? >> 1976, republicans in the state joined them. >> i'm running for president. >> jimmy carter did well that year in iowa and went on to win the white house, iowa ceme
