official Iowa Democratic results thread

I don't know if this is the place to put it, but MSNBC says that Clinton campaign is expecting second.

Interesting....

Nah, it's just spin. If she comes first then can then claim that she did better than expected. If she comes second they can then pass off (or try to) a bad result as the expected one. And if she comes third, they can attempt to pass off a fiasco as being merely slightly worse than expected.

Interesting results

Any analysis to offer?

No

Besides the obvious, Obama seems to have done better than I'd assumed he would in what working class counties Iowa has; because of the way the results be done how much use county numbers are for the Dem race is a little questionable, but it's an indication that his appeal is broader than the soft-lefty stereotype.

Edwards, btw, did badly in such areas, but then he did in 2004 so that's not really news.

If that makes any sense. It probably doesn't. More later.

I know, any information on their % score?

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