I am staying with my original prediction Obama wins with 38%
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3914559

Obama 38%
Edwards 33%
Clinton 29%


No I do not think anyone else makes the final tallies. Why? because under the rules: you have to get 15% in each of 120 precincts to get one percent recorded votes statewide.

with so many candidates in the second tier and the top three seeminging destined to get 90% in the first tallies. I just do not think it will be poccible for anyone to get to the theshold in more than a smattering of cpreincts and I do not think it will be even 1 percent statewide.


The caveat: If Richardson cut a deal with Obama, I think he might get a few percentage points

1. I agree with you
It may be closer between Obama and Edwards but I definitely think they'll be 1 and 2 tonight (with HRC in 3rd).

4. what you're saying is that of the 57 delegates at stake
Obama gets 22, Edwards gets 19, and Hillary gets 17. I'm not sure that's a "victory" for anyone.

5. Iowa has never been about delegates. It is completely about momentum and perception
