NBC Calls Iowa for Barack Obama

NBC News has called the Iowa Democratic Caucus for Barack Obama. With 72% reporting the numbers look like this:

Obama 35%

Edwards 31%

Clinton 31%

Richardson 2%

Biden 1%

A tough loss for Hillary. She would have preferred an Edwards win, and is potentially third here. A Barack Obama win in New Hampshire may be a difficult blow to recover from. All of Bill Clinton’s political acumen will be needed here.

    The Des Moines Register actually has the popular vote totals by county, which is very rare and typically kept secret:

    (With 1,645 out of 1,781 precincts reporting)

    Obama — 84,546
    Edwards — 68,197
    Clinton — 67,263
    Richardson — 4,900
    Biden — 2,154
    Dodd — 58
    Uncommitted — 284

    ….just like in 2004. 😉
