to have impressed a lot of Iowans over the last several months.

It's almost as if they really like what he has to say.

Encouraging news from Iowa City, as cool a university town as could be.

switch to another candidate, or your vote essentially doesn't count.

It's quirks like this that make polling the caucuses problematic.

MSNBC just reported the results from the Iowa City caucus, 5 delegates for Bernie, 1 for Hillary.

IC 19 is one of the smaller precincts in Iowa City (in terms of area). It's just off campus and has a very large proportion of student residents.

Also a student-heavy precinct.

Mine is a mix of students, retirees, and young families. A lot of UI faculty live in my precinct.

I almost formally proposed that the undeclared group (which didn't have enough to get a delegate) rename themselves "margin of error" and decline to move to either candidate.

Mine went 51-49 for Hillary. My friends in other precincts are reporting similar results.

This is reflecting the current numbers for the state - close, but marginally in favor of Hillary.

In her Precinct Clinton was not viable either - 4 to 0 for Bernie.

I am in Blackhawk County and my precinct was almost equally divided so delegates were 4-4. O'Malley collapsed quickly
