Projection: Sanders to Win Iowa





Reviewing the figures of the counties remaining to be counted, it appears that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders will narrowly eke out Hillary Clinton at tonight's Iowa caucuses. The precincts left to be counted seem to heavily favor Sanders and offer him victory tonight.

As of 11:06 there are just 9.6% of caucuses left to be counted, with Sanders behind by 0.2%. The counties still out for the count appear to be heavily assisting Sanders, with his total to soon overtake Clinton's.

Politico has some of the final results here.

In Blackhawk County with 13% left to count:

B. Sanders 53.6% 3,187
H. Clinton 46.1% 2,743

In Boone County with 20% to count:

B. Sanders 55.3% 611
H. Clinton 44.7% 494

In Cerro Gordo County with 11% to count:

B. Sanders 51.9% 968
H. Clinton 48.1% 897

In Des Moine with 6% to count:

B. Sanders 53.6% 986
H. Clinton 46.4% 853

In Howard County with 11% left to count:

B. Sanders 54.1% 196
H. Clinton 45.9% 166

Jefferson county with 8% to count:

B. Sanders 72.4% 556
H. Clinton 27.6% 212

Final projection:

Sanders: 49.80%
Clinton: 49.75%


UPDATE: CNN is now stating Sanders is staying in Iowa to "watch results." Some believe it is for a victory speech.

[bigdarryl]

9. Mark Thompson is reporting that a lot of republicans are voting in the democratic Party Caucus

The speculation is there voting for Sanders to deny Hillary a win because they want Sanders the nominee.Mark is in Iowa at the Sanders headquarters

[ForgoTheConsequence]

15. Give me a break.

..

[bigdarryl]

21. Yeah I know crazy if true but so far it hasn't been confirmed

[ForgoTheConsequence]

36. I heard Bernie eats babies.

JUST TELLING YOU WHAT I HEARD MANNNNN

[MoonchildCA]

18. I don't really believe this is true, but if it is...

...be careful what you wish for.

[SDJay]

26. Exactly

If I recall correctly, they also wanted to do what they could to make sure it was Obama who was the nominee in 08.

How did that work out for them?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

27. Sanders supporters have told us we should welcome everyone.

Just sayin'

[LovingA2andMI]

29. Come On....

If Bernie Wins or Comes "ThisClose" It Is ALL BERNIE LOVE and his supporters leading the way. Don't Complaint, as your candidate has more work to do if she wants the win, period.

Meanwhile, Bernie and his Supporters (Including I) are #QuiteProud Tonight. Bernie had 10% of Iowa in July 2015 10% FREAKING PERCENT to 49% or 50%. We are Quite Proud of Bernie Tonight!

19. Listening to Hillary

I really do not think I can vote for her. She wants the party to be "united" - she really does thinks she is the queen.
I will not be made to feel guilty for not voting for the corporate queen.
she is NOT a progressive - she is wall streets favorite lady.
And this from a 66 year old white women.

[Darb]

23. Oh for fuck's sake.

You Berners, are jumping, badly.

You do know who you sound like right?

[Roland99]

34. Yeah. We sound like people who want a liberal!

Fuck the DLC

Fuck Third Way

[Darb]

40. No, you don't sound like liberals.

Liberals are smarter than that.

[Roland99]

42. You implying liberals want a DLC candidate?

Uhhhh

[Darb]

49. No, liberals wouldn't cut off their nose to spite their face.

Promote your guy. do not tear down Hillary. Bernie doesn't act like an asshat, he's a class act in fact. His supporters should consider the fact that he might not win. He might, but he might not, and if he doesn't, we need to get behind Hillary, not attack her like teabaggers.

[Roland99]

51. If it comes to that we shall see

In the meantime, I care not one iota for corporate shills sucking up lobbyist cash

[Darb]

52. That's very informative.

I can say without any hesitation that if Sanders wins I will line right up and vote for him. Nice going.

[saturnsring]

59. vote blue no matter who

[ciaobaby]

62. Lemming

[840high]

44. Ditto

[NowSam]

30. I agree. eom.

[saturnsring]

57. you dont sound 66

" Hillary's a corporate queen therefore I will not vote for her. I would rather not vote i'll let ted cruz be the president he wont be a corporate queen. i'll let HIM pick the next supreme court justices"



why not I haven't had a hide in a while
yea for Bernie and Hillary

[ciaobaby]

60. Well judging by your picture it will be a long time before you vote.

and by the way - some day you may learn how to use quotation marks.

[saturnsring]

64. that picture isnt a representation of me - someday you may learn something about politics

[BlueJazz]

58. Welcome to DU! I feel the same.

[MoonchildCA]

20. Well, good for Clinton.

At least she won in her own head.

[LiberalElite]

28. I posted elsehere

she's the star of her own fairy tale.

[elmac]

22. HRC trumped Cruz

took the wind out of his speech, Its close for the dems but the coin toss probably put the win in for HRC.

[LovingA2andMI]
