I went to the DM Register site.  Where did you find this list of stats =
(that was in your attachment)?  Did you compile them yourself from =
various pages at the site.

By the way, I went to Johnson County's precinct detail page and saw a =
glaring error for my precinct.

In my precinct tonight, Iowa City 09, 4 delegates went for Obama, 2 for =
Edwards and 1 for Clinton.  The webpage for our county has 5 delegates =
for Obama and 4 for Clinton for our precinct. =20

There was passionate anti-Clinton sentiment in our caucus and a loud =
cheer when it was announced that she had only one delegate. =20

I wonder if there are other errors in the tally.  Check your precincts.  =

Click on your county.  One the page that appears, right below the county =
totals, click on the link for precinct-by-precinct details.

  I think it's interesting to look at the way the individual counties =
voted, looking for green-friendly areas. Of course, we have =
self-selected Democrats in this sample, an entire county might be 90% =
Republican and in that case, these results would not mean too much, but =
anyway...=20
  From data posted on the Des Moines Register web site Jan 3, 2008 =
approximately 10 PM, with 92% of precincts reporting.=20


  Summary:=20

  Where Edwards was strong, he was really strong (nearly 60%)=20


  Where Obama was weak, he was really weak. (barely 6%)=20

  It's late, I spent too much time on this already, otherwise I'd do the =
republicans too.=20

  Good night. =20
