<br /> 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 v=
arious pages at the site.
<br />
<br /> By the way, I went to Johnson County's precinct detail page and =
saw a glaring error for my precinct.
<br />
<br /> 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 deleg=
ates for Obama and 4 for Clinton for our precinct.
<br />
<br /> There was passionate anti-Clinton sentiment in our caucus and a =
loud cheer when it was announced that she had only one delegate.
<br />
<br /> I wonder if there are other errors in the tally. Check your prec=
incts. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=3D=
caucus
<br /> Click on your county. One the page that appears, right below the=
county totals, click on the link for precinct-by-precinct details.

<br /> I think it's interesting to look at the way the individual count=
ies voted, looking for green-friendly areas. Of course, we have self-sele=
cted Democrats in this sample, an entire county might be 90% Republican a=
nd in that case, these results would not mean too much, but anyway...
<br />
<br /> From data posted on the Des Moines Register web site Jan 3, 2008=
approximately 10 PM, with 92% of precincts reporting.
<br />
<br /> Summary:
<br />
<br /> Where Edwards was strong, he was really strong (nearly 60%)
<br />
<br /> Where Obama was weak, he was really weak. (barely 6%)
<br />
<br /> It's late, I spent too much time on this already, otherwise I'd =
do the republicans too.
<br />
<br /> Good night.
