Sanders nearly claims all delegates in some precincts

The battle in Iowa City Precinct 20 on Monday night focused on whether support for Bernie Sanders would be enough to claim all seven Democratic delegates for the Vermont senator.

In the end, supporters of Hillary Clinton eked over the viability threshold and claimed one of those seven delegates for the former secretary of state and first lady.

With 646 caucusgoers and dozens of observers unable to fit within the main meeting room of the Iowa City Public Library, it took a full 42 minutes before the caucus chairman, Doug Dorando, could even call the caucus to order.
...
For the first round of voting, all the non-Sanders supporters were pushed off into the hallway and entry area of the library. Even then, the Sanders supporters spilled out from the main room and made counting difficult.

Re - comments of man at the caucus. That would be a hawk you're holding there, fella. Not exactly a chicken. As a matter of fact I don't think there is anything "chicken" about her.
