1. Very encouraging results so far!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

41. Love it!... Hillary had to win big in early rural counties... reports indicate Bernie will surge as night goes on.

Go Bernie!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[Tommy2Tone]

2. Great news

It's still early but I had rather be up than down.

[book_worm]

3. Very early, but

appears Hillary is doing well in the rural areas, smaller counties--there votes do add up.

[workinclasszero]

4. Wow!

So much tension lol

[Dem2]

5. 53%H-46.1%B 7% in

[Joe the Revelator]

6. Can we get a new thread with every percentage increase of reporting precincts?

I expect nothing less that 96 new threads.

[hill2016]

8. sorry I've deleted the old ones

[Joe the Revelator]

9. boo. 96 new threads would have been fun. :) nt

[Dawson Leery]

7. Early, but she is doing well in the rural counties.

Which negates the belief that Bernie alone can win those voters.

[Dem2]

10. 53H-46.5B 14% in

M'OM 0.5%

[hill2016]

11. bump!

[brooklynite]

12. Clinton winning all precincts in Des Moines

[GusBob]

13. At least we are over with online polls now

Thank the lords

[Matariki]

38. I don't think I could deal with waiting for Primary results

glad this is a Caucus

[Dem2]

14. 50.1H-49.3B 93% in

15. Looks encouraging so far!

[taught_me_patience]

16. Looks real good for Hillary right now

Numbers are holding steady at 6% lead.

[hill2016]

17. bump

[taught_me_patience]

21. I can sense the Bern enthusiasm starting to drain n/t

[book_worm]

18. Polk County only has 8% in

15/177 and that is the biggest county of all. But so far Hillary is doing well, but still a lot of votes to count.

[hill2016]

19. bump

[JRLeft]

20. I said before and I will say it again if Bernie loses tonight the primary is over.

[Matariki]

23. If Hillary loses is it over?

[JRLeft]

32. Bernie has to win Iowa and New Hampshire. I'm not here to make you feel better I won't sugarcoat

anything. Hillary has built in advantages. All situations aren't created equal.

[Matariki]

35. Don't worry

I was just making fun of you a little

[StevieM]

33. The race goes on regardless of who wins. We have three great candidates. (eom)

[brooklynite]

34. No, because it won't be implemented...

[RBInMaine]

25. He still probably goes on to win NH, but it even tightens there. Hillary then runs the table.

[Dawson Leery]

28. Hillary has the machinery and ground game.

She can close that 25% gap.

[Joe the Revelator]

26. Over? Nothing's over after tonight.

[cali]

39. Yes, but Bernie will make her earn every vote well past Super Tuesday

It bodes ill for Hillary and us, that she is not, to put it kindly, at her best when things get competitive.

[mvd]

45. That's true!

It would be nice for Bernie to win tonight, but Iowa never determines things. Bernie's keeping it close. He'll win NH, and then we need momentum for Super Tuesday - a lot can happen. But Hillary fighting for votes is a good thing indeed. It would help her be on her game in the GE.

[PatBateman]

53. If he does lose, we know it was stolen

There's no way Bernie could lose in a fair and free election.

[uponit7771]

68. I don't think Iowa can be stolen... those guys would truly riot

[FrenchieCat]

73. You joined DU to say this????

[Hekate]

85. Apparently so

[Motown_Johnny]

22. Rural areas reporting first? n/t

[GusBob]

24. Kick

I can't get the MS counter to load so kick

[book_worm]

27. Johnson County home of the University of Iowa, Iowa City

currently has Hillary up 52-47, but lots of votes yet to count.

[hill2016]

29. bump

[book_worm]

30. 31% in: Hillary 52% Bernie 47.4

[elleng]

31. These are actually final votes IN caucuses,

or something else? I've been looking @ idp too, and appears continually to change.

[brooklynite]

37. These are the percentage of delegates going to the COUNTY caucuses...

...but will be reported as vote equivalents

[book_worm]

56. Only 39% of Polk County is in (Des Moines) and Hillary is up by 10 there

been 8-10 point lead in Polk all night and if that keeps steady she should win the state.

[Roland99]

57. Inching under 2.5% diff

[SheenaR]

58. Thanks hill for the updates

I don't know where the vote remains, but Hillary has not extended her lead in at least a half hour. Keeps getting closer by the minute. Going to be a close one. What a fun night. That Microsoft thing is crazy lol

50.7-48.7 63%

[SheenaR]

59. As I say that

He loses 0.1 lol. I suck

63. I LOVE IT!!! Bernie's message is a fire that won't be put out even if he's edged out by Hillary! nt

[hill2016]

62. Bump

[Nanjeanne]

64. Congratulations to Clinton and Sanders

This is going to be very close and both campaigns will feel good going on. They will continue to make their case. Clinton will be redeemed from 2008 and Sanders will show that he can be viable. Now it becomes a real choice between two visions of what they see as America's future.

[hill2016]

65. bump

[Warren DeMontague]

66. As of 8:48 pm Johnson County is only 57% in, has Sanders up by 11%

FWIW.

69. 1.4% lead and falling. Once again Clinton can't win Iowa. nt

[ohnoyoudidnt]

74. 1.2% Getting closer!

I can't stand sports, but I love watching these.

[hill2016]

70. bump

[strategery blunder]

71. Now HRC 50.4% SBS 49.0% 75% in

Looks like both campaigns had good turnout from what I'm reading here

I'm pulling for Sanders, but it looks like either way, the Democrats win

77. This map is fun to watch.

Thanks for the thread, hill.

[book_worm]

78. If Hillary wins she can thank Polk County (Des Moines)

the biggest county in the state and she's been maintaining a 8-10 point lead there all night. Still lots of precients yet to report.

[hill2016]

79. bump

[lovuian]

80. amazing night

close tight race and record turnout it looks like

[Arugula Latte]

81. Well, my astute political analysis says:

Holy Shit!



Nail freakin' Biter!

[Matariki]

82. You took my words!

I was about to type 'nail biter'. We have good candidates.

[KamaAina]

83. So where is the remaining 18%?

Crowded sites like Iowa City?

[Warren DeMontague]

86. I'm watching Johnson County right now.

[KamaAina]

87. For non-Iowans, that is Iowa City and environs

home of the University of Iowa.

[Warren DeMontague]

84. Now Johnson county has Sanders up by about 18%, and it is 82% in.

I think one thing that is safe to say, whatever the finally tally, it's gonna be REALLY close.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

90. Scott, Linn, and Story are looking pretty good too. nt

[workinclasszero]

98. Bring home the victory Hillary!

[DCBob]

99. Polk county to the rescue!

[workinclasszero]

101. Yes!
