official Iowa Democratic results thread

What score did Kucinich and Gravel get anyways?

Neither one picked up even one delegate to the county conventions.  Dodd got four.

[Hippie George Wallace]

I know, any information on their % score?

[Sibboleth]

I know, any information on their % score?

There is no accurate information for any of the non-major candidates. Sadly.

Regarding Obama's win, I believe I speak for many when I say... WOOOO-HOOO!

3 - The dislike of Hillary on this board by people with red avatars is interesting.  I find it almost ridiculous actually.  Especially since no one can explain their dislike aside from one comment that she isn't liberal enough.

Every single time Hillary opens her mouth, I feel like it sounds like a calculated, focus-group tested comment.  She gives off this strong "typical slimy politician" vibe that I don't get one bit from Obama.

In 2000 that was said about being the difference between Gore and Bush.  And look how well that turned out for us.  Ok, I'm finally out.

No, in 2000 the difference was that every Bush comment sounded like a calculated, focus-group tested comment that he couldn't quite get straight despite having practiced it in front of the mirror for several hours.
That's because that's what it was.

LT, I don't know if you were in the US in 2000.  I spent the year traveling for work and, by chance, was in Austin on election night (a truly bizarre experience for a liberal political junkie such as myself).

Conversations which I had with people in PA, in TX, and all over the country usually went along the lines that most people agreed that Gore was smarter than Bush but they all were confident that Bush would "surround himself with a good team".  7 years later that seems hilarious but that was the mentality.

More importantly though, I repeatedly heard that Gore was robotic and boring but that Bush was "real" and "inspiring".

light purple counties are ties between Clinton and Edwards.  Gray county is tie between Clinton and Obama.  interestingly, Edwards didn't win any congressional districts as his support is split amongst the districts.

[You were once a gentleman]

So it looks like Illinois Democrats support Obama (duh), Missouri ones support Edwards, Nebraska ones support Hillary and Minnesota ones are mixed (I'd have figured the more liberal DFL party base to be a hotbed of support for Obama but for some reason Hillary seems to be popular in Minnesota. Oh well, all Obama needs is momentum to win here)

Why are the percentages listed so far off from the official ones though?

Thing is, I find and found it really hard to comprehend how anybody could think Bush "real" in 2000. He seemed to be taking fakeness to a new dimension.

Obama won Clinton County. Good one.

Your results say 98% reported. Maybe you should use this Iowa Democratic site that is at 100%.

What's interesting is that the DMR got the demographic make-up completely wrong, and yet they pretty much got all the percentages right. Self-fulfilling prophecy?

[PGSable]

Does Clinton owe her strong showing in west Iowa to Kerrey's endorsement?

[You were once a gentleman]

Nebraska Democrats maybe. People in western Iowa don't give a f**k about Bob Kerrey, assuming they even know who he is. But that might've effected Nebraska Democrats a bit, helping her.

Are the numbers in the "Caucus Result" column the popular vote results? I thought that the Democrats only reported the delegates elected to the county conventions.
