Please everyone remember there are 38% of precincts left to report in Iowa.

Before jumping to conclusions about who won the most delegates/votes/whatever, just remember we don't have the full results yet. This is why the Iowa Democratic Party shouldn't have released partial results...

Why the hell are they making such broad conclusions with only 62% of the vote in?!

We’re releasing numbers.

That had to put out actual numbers.

Better to speculate off those then the campaigns

I think that the Dems released partial results to try to quiet the criticism. I don't think it is negative that they did the partial release. Now, no matter who is first, second or third, this is a win for Pete Buttigieg, presently leading, of course.

These campaigns have dragged on forfuckingever and last night was the big moment we've been waiting for? Americans think in terms of "winners" and "losers" and last night the party looked like big ol' losers. Is it true that the app was designed by former Clinton campaigners? I've said repeatedly I don't want the ghost of Hillary Clinton looming over this election. Well if true, that wish has been shot to hell in the first round!

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm sick of all of them and am starting to see the appeal of Bloomberg. NEVER AGAIN should campaigning drag out this long.
