***** OFFICIAL IOWA RESULTS THREAD *****

[Skinner]

(I apologize for breaking the caps rule and the punctuation rule, but I think it's important that everyone sees this.)

There are too many threads for results, and it's hard to keep track of which thread is which. Lets try posting the results in this thread to see if we can better keep track of what's going on.

Let's try to have a standard format for the title of each post, with the number of precincts reporting, followed by the first three or four candidates in order.

00 precincts - Candidate A: 00%, Candidate B: 00%, Candidate C: 00%, Candidate D: 00%

I don't think we need to repeat the total number of precincts (1993) every time.

[Maddy McCall]

1. That little blue man by your name is also an attention getter.

Always gets my attention anyway. :-)

[Wonk]

2. 390 of 1993 precincts reporting. Kerry @ 36%, Edwards @ 34%, Dean @ 18%

Gephardt @ 11%

(rounded off to the nearest 1%)

Last results I got from this link before it broke.

Here's my earlier thread on this in case you want to lock it now.

[maddezmom]

6. me too

reminds me of my moms blue eyes. :)

[jpgray]

3. 645 precincts - Kerry: 37.1%, Edwards: 33.0%, Dean: 17.7%, Gephardt: 10.8%

[leyton]

4. Kerry - 37 / Edwards - 33 / Dean - 18 / Gephardt - 11

This is amazing.

Still waiting for those city voters to turn out for Dean and Gephardt, but I doubt the actual positions will change.

Edit: Aggh! I broke the rule. Sorry, CNN doesn't say how many precincts have reported.

[tritsofme]

5. delete

[IndianaGreen]

7. CNN has the results posted on the front page

so far they only have percentages. The delegate column is what counts.

Candidate % Iowa Delegates
Kerry
37 0
Edwards
33 0
Dean
18 0
Gephardt
11 0
Kucinich
1 0

[mot78]

11. Kerry's widening his lead over Edwards

I think Kerry will win it, but Edwards will be a VERY close second.

[frank frankly]

8. great idea - - we needed this!

lets go!

[Cuban_Liberal]

9. Can you crack down on some of the flame bait posts, please?

Thanks! :)

[Endangered Specie]

Breaking your own rules Skinner? Naughty. ;-)

LOL

[Endangered Specie]

The exact same as last almost

[Endangered Specie]

14. 51% (1016/1993) Numbers are still same as before

cnn.com

[Robin Hood]

15. So much for poll numbers.

How could all of these poll numbers over all of these months have been so wrong? Me thinks that the Dean juggernaut may have been propped up by the right wing media in hope of not sending Kerry or Edwards to go against Bush and Chenney.

[Skinner]

16. Let's not go off topic in this thread.

The purpose of this thread is to report the the iowa results.

[Endangered Specie]

17. 56% (1116/1993) numbers still EXACTLY the same

[spooky3]

18. 62% Kerry 37 Edwards 33 Dean 18 Gephardt 11

[Darranar]

19. 1118 precincts, Kerry 37.3, Edwards 32.6, Dean 17.8, Gephardt 10.8.

[David Zephyr]

20. Wow! Congratulations to John Kerry and His Supporters Tonight!

This showing by Senator Kerry can not be dismissed.

It is truly a stunning achievement the likes of which I can't remember seeing before.

Something is happening with the electorate.

Very impressed.

And kudos to John Edwards and his supporters, too.

This Dean supporter salutes you all!

:toast:

[Rowdyboy]

22. The American people really don't like to be spoon fed their opinions

They actually do have minds of their own and make decisions based on their experiences. Go figure...

[David Zephyr]

26. Bill Mahr Had The Best Line About Iowa.

He said that the race in Iowa had gotten so tight that Fox News didn't know which of the four candidates to smear.

Go Democrats!

[snyttri]

33. good one

[clarknyc]

41. Yeah, same here.

Of course I'm disappointed in Dean's numbers, but Kerry, Edwards, and their supporters all deserve a round of applause. We'll see you in New Hampshire. May the best campaign win!

[Endangered Specie]

21. 68% (1355/1993) Kerry 38 / Edwards 33 / Dean 18 / Gephardt 10

Kucinich 1
Rest 0

[spooky3]

23. same at 71% except Edwards down 1, Gephardt up 1

[diamondsoul]

25. I love the results except I wish

Dennis was in third.

[Skinner]

24. CNN just called Iowa for Kerry. (nt)

[knight_of_the_star]

31. Wow

Twoo weeks ago no one would have seen that coming.

[mvd]

39. Congrats to Kerry

I'm a Kucinich supporter first, and I support Dean and Edwards next (Edwards has really captured my heart lately) - but Kerry would make a fine nominee IMO.

[Catherine Vincent]

27. Go Kerry Go!

Congrats!

[JCMach1]

28. Now it is a four-way race for NH:

Kerry, Dean, Clark and Edwards

[David Zephyr]

30. Yep.

And the Kerry / Clark battle royale will be something to behold.

Be sure to duck.

[sistersofmercy]

32. Don't get me wrong but...

I'm not so sure Edwards will do well in NH. I believe he is a wonderful candidate but I just don't think he will do as well there. I think NH is going to come down to Kerry and Dean.

[Kat45]

36. Clark's campaign is pretty hot in NH now.

Don't count him out.

[elcondor]

29. If this stays how it is

I will win a bet with several friends. Congrats to Kerry, he is my second choice! :silly:

[spooky3]

34. 80% Kerry 38 Edwards 32 Dean 18 Gephardt 11 Kucinich 1

[Adapter44]

35. So what does this mean for Kucinich?

I support him.

I guess 1% at 5th place isn't so bad? Can anyone explain how he will likely do from here?

[spooky3]

37. welcome, Adapter44, I think we'll have to wait to hear from him.

[goodhue]

40. he will stay in the race

at least until post-CA primary
and probably until the convention itself
at which time he will support the nominee
a brokered convention remains possible

[DoveTurnedHawk]

38. I Am Absolutely Shocked

On one hand, I'm thrilled. On another hand, I'm dismayed.

Holy shit, what a night.

DTH

[David Zephyr]

42. Oh What a Night, DTH!

On to New Hampshire. :hi:

[Jerseycoa]

43. I know the feeling

Congratulations, though, Kerry and Edwards supporters! :toast:

[legin]

44. Lucky for me

I only just got over here, obviously I'm in one of my 'too dozy to be in the right place at the right time' moods.

If I had been here since the beggining it would probably have been a two monitor night.

Edwards in second place ????

I hope this does not mean that the actual results are more 'right-wing' (to probably choose the wrong word) than all the opinion polls, because otherwise bush* is a shoe-in.

[calimary]

45. Man, you've got that right -

Holy Shit, for SURE!

Let the games begin.

I'm surprised Dean didn't do better. I'm NOT surprised Edwards did as well. Saw a lot of him on CSPAN over the weekend. I must say I was impressed. Even if he did vote for the blinkin' war.

So... okay, now that Kerry has a leg up, WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE CONVINCE KERRY TO START MAKING USE OF JOSEPH WILSON AND RAND BEERS?!?!?!?!?

[Crunchy Frog]

46. Well, it looks like

we've got a real horse race now, instead of a coronation. Congratulations to the Kerry and Edwards supporters. May the best man win, and may he be steeled by this race for facing the enemy in the White House.
