Another factor may have been the presence of campaign offices or point peop=
le in various counties.     There should be a way to find out who had what =
offices where.  I know Obama had an office in Muscatine, for instance.  I w=
onder if it was becuase there as interest there, or if it involved a partic=
ular outreach strategy (river towns near Illinois, etc)

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 Democrat=
s in this sample, an entire county might be 90% Republican and in that case=
, these results would not mean too much, but anyway...

>From data posted on the Des Moines Register web site Jan 3, 2008 approximat=
ely 10 PM, with 92% of precincts reporting.

Summary:

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

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

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

Good night.
