Anyone remember 2008? I think it's one of those "officially" close at 8 but no real results until at least 8:30 if I remember correctly.

I'm asking because I have to work until 8:30 sadly, but I have a feeling I won't miss much.

Here's the thread from four years ago, if you want to see how fast results came in:

15% of the results in, half an hour when voting closed (8:57) and news outlets predicted Huckabee. So we'll see the same? hopefully not, but I really doubt this goes on to 11:30 when I'll finally be able to see anything Wink

There's also usually an "entrance poll" of voters before they walk into the caucus sites. So we should have some idea of who's going to win before we get any results.

With how close the top 3 are running I don't think that'll be enough.

Yeah, but keep in mind that in 2008 Huckabee/Romney and then Obama/Clinton/Edwards were both also very close in polling, but ended up being pretty solid victories when it came time to caucus. We'll see I guess.

Just watching Obama's victory speech from Iowa, that's timestamped as 11 EST, if that's any help.
