According to MSNBC (none / 0) (#11)

when you break the delegate numbers down to actual voters, obama's win was more like 15% over clinton.  I haven't been able to find these numbers and will keep looking.  But this spin job you are trying to pull by bringing everything up to the national level is crazy.  Obama's win last night was huge by any measure.  Those delegate counts change anyway because it's likely someone will drop out.  Is it possible that Edwards' delegates could go to Hillary if he drops out?  Sure.  But that doesn't mean she won Iowa.  However, it's this exact reason that no matter how many primaries and caucuses Obama wins, I won't believe he has the nomination until the convention is over.  I wouldn't put it past the clintons at all to try and get edwards out of it and then strong arm the party faithful to vote for hillary at the convention in an attempt to steal the election.

I wouldn't be surprised if he threw his support to Obama. He had nothing but praise for him as the "only other change candidate" while he blasted Hillary a few times as "status quo." Of course, I don't agree.  They are all centrists and none of them will bring about the kind of change I want. That said, I want the Democrat who can win in November, so yes, I'm looking at what Iowa means nationally and it seems to me, not much -- except for the ephemeral "momentum" which as I said above, can change on a dime.
