Iowa caucus results

[Tex [USMC]]

With 67% of... cauci (I guess) reporting, it looks like some flip flopping has resulted in this notoriously close race. John Kerry has come away with 38% of the vote, with John Edwards coming in a close second with 33%. Dean, the former frontrunner, has fallen back to 18%, and Gephardt, who was thought to be a strong contender in Iowa due to strong union ties, came up with a dissapointing 11%. Most pundits agree that this is the end of Gephardt's run at the White House (told ya). Anyhoo, here are the numbers

Wow. Suprising. I thought Dean would do a lot better. Still, Kerry is a good man. I don't know too much about Edwards, though.

I know of two John Edwards, one was a religious fanatic and the other is... well don't want to offend anyone. Hope this one doesn't follow the path

Clarke didnt come across well on CNN in his appearance on Larry King Live. He was overly confident, he completely ignored the results and kept saying the he allready brokered peace deals and had won wars.

And talk about a deer in the headlights :

92% now reporting, the numbers are still exactly the same except for Dean falling back 1%

I wasn't too surprised about Kerry, he's been surging as of late, but Edwards shocked me. I thought it would be Kerry then Dean then Gephardt. I'm glad Gephardts out. Now New Hampshire should knock out Lieberman who's nearly out of money anyway. Dean is in big trouble. His momentum is going down. Clark is gaining ground in New Hampshire and with Kerry and Edwards having so much momentum coming out of Iowa, Clark could knock Dean out of the race altogether this coming week. This is going to be a fun election year. There are a lot of smart candidates, particularly Edwards, who could make Bush look like a completely illiterate jackass in a debate setting. I can't wait for the fireworks to start.
