I wonder how well Rand Paul will perform in Jefferson County. It was the only county Ron Paul won in 2008 and it was his best in 2012 with 48% IIRC.

Also curious to see how he does in Johnson County, with the university and all. Sadly, I don't think his numbers will improve substantially, he'll end up with 5% I think.

He is currently at 3% in Jefferson, with exactly one vote.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Rubio's done here.

[yankeesfan]

TSA keep it going, you're doing a great service

[Xing]

If these numbers hold, my prediction for the top three was almost spot on!

[Classic Conservative]

In the precient that was just shown on C-Span, Cruz won by 2 votes with 44 to Trumps 42

[Seriously?]

What percentage is usually in when they make a call?

EDIT: I know it depends on how close it is, but just curious

Hard to make a call here early. Obviously, the bigger sites are going to be the last to report as they have more votes to count. So while you may have 25% of the precincts in, you do not have 25% of the total vote in, if that makes any sense.

I think Cruz might legitimately win this.

[GLPman]

Rubio's done here.

Not sure he's "done," but it's doubtful he will finish above third. A close third place finish could give him momentum going into NH, though.

I never thought I would be celebrating Ted Cruz leading in Iowa, but... there I am.

[Illiniwek]

Thank you. I thought that the % was raw vote total on the Republican side cuz im a noob

Yeah, I'm re-placing my money on Cruz...

who would have guessed

[pikachu]

Hopefully Trump pulls away some more from Rubio so he doesn't get any momentum for NH.

[This account no longer in use.]

As much of a complete creep as Cruz is, he's much better than Trump.

Me Hoping for a Cru victory that ends the trump surge and launches cruz to a good finish in NH

[Illiniwek]

Cruz isn't my first choice, but he's up there. And almost anyone would be better than Donald.

[Reginald]

Is it time to start smirking?

[Clyde1998]

Liking these results, so far - hopefully, Trump continues to remain behind Cruz.
