Official Iowa Caucus Results Thread

[You kip if you want to...]

Obama was projected the winner 20 minutes ago in 2008, just btw. (8:25 EST by MSNBC)

[Lief 🗽]

Still optimistic about not-Romney. His best areas are a lot more in than Paul's or Santorum's. It'll be interesting to see who wins western Iowa this time. But Polk is still out, Story is still out, the southern counties where Huckabee was in the 40s and 50s last time are still out.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

If the current proportion of votes per precinct continues, turnout will end up being around 105,000-110,000, lower than 2008.

31 in. Romney 24. Santorum 23. Paul 23

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

It'd be hilarious if it was a dead on, vote for vote, 3 way tie.

Like the 1996 Ames Straw Poll?

"Huntsman we found your one Iowa voter, he's in Linn precinct 5 you might want to call him and say thanks." - Ron Paul camp

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Is the IA GOP site down?

[Meeker]

I think Romeny is about to pick up a lot of votes in Polk as the suburbs come in.

[BlondewithaBrain]

Ok me and my math on - qualified accountant - romney has this I think Sioux falls will give it to him.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Romney now has a 24-23-23 lead.

Not according to Drudge Report

Playing "Queen" at Paul HQ.

[Antonio the Sixth]

All right guys, I'm going to bed now. It's a pity to leave right when Romney has taken the lead, but hopefully that means I'll have a good surprise tomorrow.

See you.

[Lincoln Republican]

Romney now has a 24-23-23 lead.

Boo!

[You kip if you want to...]

OMG, it's 2:53am. I need a call.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Has Bachmann dropped out of the race yet?

[NVGonzalez]

OMG, it's 2:53am. I need a call.

You might not get it till the next time you wake up

[Joe Biden 2020]

All right guys, I'm going to bed now. It's a pity to leave right when Romney has taken the lead, but hopefully that means I'll have a good surprise tomorrow.

See you.

Party Pooper!! I don't care if it's nearly 4 am your time!

About half the counties west of Des Moines have yet to report any results, a potentially good sign for Rick Santorum, since he has led the vote in most of western Iowa so far. Southern Iowa, where Ron Paul is running well, has also been slow to report results.

- Nate Silver

[J. J.]

A lot of those counties where Santorum is running strong are mostly in and Romney is leading in Dubuque.  My guess is Romney does no worse than 2md.  He might win it.

As Dubuque goes so goes Iowa???

It is a heavily Catholic area (60%+).

brillliant results page. look at four counties - polk, woodbury, pottawattamie and scott.

Comeon Santorum!!!!!! beat the RINO!!!!!!!!!!

[NVGonzalez]

The GOP is seriously fractured. Each of the leading 3 candidates represents a very different part of the party.

[Joe Biden 2020]

OMG, it's 2:53am. I need a call.

We've got a long way to go, buckle up and get some coffee.

[Badger]

Linn and Dallas Counties are heavily carrying Romney here. The problem is most their vote, especially in Linn, is already in. He needs to either widen his margin in Dubuque considerably, or start showing strength somewhere new.

Woodbury? I forgot Romney beat Huck there last time.

Paul can still hope in that Polk and Story are still largely unreported.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Go Ron Paul!
