[VolcanoJen]

2. Watching CSPAN

Obama's certainly in the lead in this caucus. Fascinating watching the Biden and Richardson supporters realign.

[chascarrillo]

8. Not sure where keith gets his numbers, but....

Here's what is on the http://www.iowacaucusresults.com/ website right now....

Senator John Edwards : 34.13%
Senator Hillary Clinton : 31.89%
Senator Barack Obama : 31.01%

It refreshes every 30 seconds, so the numbers should be fairly fresh.

10. Its the same way they can call elections early. They look at early precincts where Obama didn't poll

well, and if he's doing better then he's suppose to be, he leads.

[Joe the Revelator]

9. Based on Entrance polling AND early precincts. Which is important.

It means that he's doing better in precincts that he shouldn't be doing all that well in.

[jenmito]

15. Obama's leading in both. And Norah O'Donnell just reported the majority wants change.

And Obama's getting the most support from those voters.

[fightindonkey]

19. Norah, The Republican Says It, Then It Must Be So

I can't believe you even seriously wrote that!

[jenmito]

26. She's tracking entrance polls.

nothing like a little polling to get conversation flowing but I remember the STING of 2004 with Kerry leading well into the night :(

[jenmito]

18. 461 precincts reporting Obama in lead with non-viable support.

[fightindonkey]

They're claiming Obama has won w/75% of the votes in. I'll wait.

[jenmito]

30. He's the projected winner. He's 7% ahead of the others. Not counting 2nd choicers.
