Remainders

Dodd drops out.

Biden, too.

Final results: Edwards takes second--barely, by exactly seven delegates, or one more than mere viability in Ward 1 would have given her.

Obama won big--and with a heavily Democratic turnout (76% Democrats, 20% independents, 4% Republicans--scroll down, but plenty of interesting statistics there)

Everything turns now to New Hampshire.

Thanks for tuning in, everyone!

Not quite true on Hillary. Each county can have as big a county convention as they want, but at the end of the day, Poweshiek gets only 15 delegates to the state/district level conventions. Hillary being viable in Grinnell 1 may have given her one more, at most, but likely not enough to overcome Edwards. After all, Biden was viable in Grinnell 1 but got zero state delegates out of the county.
