Obama Wins Iowa, Again?

According to MSNBC: First Read, Iowa had another democratic caucus this weekend, and Obama won.

Last night, when I reported the net gain of 7 delegates for Obama out of yesterday’s 99 county Democratic conventions, it was based on 96% of conventions reporting. But there were two Cong. districts where Edwards was teetering on the edge of viability, the 1st and the 4th. Well, Edwards teetered the wrong way and Obama netted the delegates. So, here are the final results:

Statewide: Obama won 52%, Clinton 32% and Edwards 16%. There are 16 delegates split up proportionately with Obama nabbing 8 delegates to Clinton’s 5 and Edwards’ 3.

Cong. District 1 (6 delegates): Obama won 54% to Clinton’s 31% and Edwards’ 14% (no viability). Obama won these delegates 4-2.

Cong. District 2 (7 delegates): Obama won 51% to Clinton’s 30% to Edwards’ 19%. Obama won these delegates 4-2-1

Cong. District 3: (6 delegates): Obama won 51% to Clinton’s 31% to Edwards 18%. Obama won these delegates 3-2-1.

Cong. District 4: (6 delegates): Obama won 55% to Clinton’s 34% to Edwards’ 11% (no viability). Obama won these delegates 4-2.

Cong. District 5 (4 delegates): Obama won 47% to Clinton’s 37% and Edwards’ 15%. Obama won these delegates 2-1-1.

So the overall delegate take for each candidate: 25 for Obama (that’s up from 16 during the Jan. 3 caucuses). 14 for Clinton (that’s down one from her 15 during Jan. 3). And 6 hung with Edwards, that’s down from 14 on Jan. 3.

Biden and Dodd Dropout After Iowa Caucus

Joe Biden Jazz Hands

Democratic Senators Joe Biden (Delaware) and Chris Dodd (Connecticut) recused themselves from the 2008 Presidential race Thursday night/Friday morning after a dismal 5th (Biden) and 6th (Dodd) finish in the Iowa Caucus. I don’t consider this to be a big shock to anyone except maybe their feverent naive supporters. Don’t be surprised if one or both of these men manage to get themselves a vice-presidential canidate bid, which may be what they were after in the first place.
