DEMOCRATIC & REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES January 03, 2008

• Obama   940     38%
• Edwards 744     30%
• Clinton    737     29%

Hillary Clinton takes a licking in Iowa. Presently with 92% of precincts reporting, Hillary Clinton is in third place with 30% of the vote. Just as amazing as Barack Obama’s win in Iowa is the fact that between the Obama/Edwards “anti” Hillary vote is at 67%. No matter how Hillary, Bill or their campaign want to spin it, the Democratic “anti” Hillary vote is going to be a real issue for the woman who wishes to be crowned king.
