Unless the partial results they release first end up exactly matching the final, total results, they'll be accused of trying to skew media coverage.

It's 5 pm everyday.
Given my opinion of the impact of the Iowa Caucus, I'm hoping it's 5 pm on December 1st.

Just wait until you are in the 90's. Why put out numbers that will change quickly?

Compounding the error.

IMO, they should release numbers to the public, and then hash it out with Joe’s lawyers.

50% would be a travesty.

Bad move.

All eyes are now on NH and on DC.

Many said that: the winner of IA is the eventual nominee. Remember nominee Gephardt?

But now everyone can win NH.
