Obama wins 'Coffee Bean Caucus'

After months of political events and bean dropping, caucus time has finally come for Iowa and the Hamburg Inn No. 2.

The iconic Iowa City diner, which has become a political hotspot, was packed with patrons munching on pancakes, bacon and eggs and possibly hoping for a shot to share their political views with the nation.

Many candidates have appeared at the Hamburg over the last few months as they geared up for the Iowa Caucus. Former President Bill Clinton and Democratic hopeful John Edwards also made impromptu visits to the diner while they were in Iowa City.

However, it was Barack Obama who came out as the big winner of the Coffee Bean Caucus. Obama got more than twice as many votes as any other candidate with 1,733. Hillary Clinton placed second with 830 and Edwards received 445. Trailing behind several other Democratic candidates, Ron Paul led the Republicans with 132 votes.
