The iowacaucusresults.com site has your precinct correctly counted.  Where =
is Johnson County's page?  I couldn't find it on the auditor's site ???

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

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

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

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

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

Click on your county.  One the page that appears, right below the county to=
tals, 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 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.
