Clinton and Romney

First results are showing BIG Edwards lead.

Very early though.

Come on Iowa - Please, please, give us a candidate who can win the General.

Clinton will divide this country and will probably lose.

Obama doesn't have near the experience and probably also will divide the country.

VOTE EDWARDS!!!

The night is young.

McCain and hopefully Hillary (She's not electable)

Edwards for the Dems, Huckabee for the Republicans.

Huckabee and Edwards…

**********THE ONLY "REAL" CANDIDATE: BARACK OBAMA -

I CAME ONTO YOUR WEBSITE &

THOUGHT THAT IT WAS

THE NEW CAMPAIGN WEBSITE

FOR HILLARY CLINTON

DONNA BRAZILLE SAYS THIS & DONNA BRAZILLE SAYS THAT

AT LEAST MAKE AN APPEARANCE OF OBJECTIVITY:

BECAUSE IT'S TOO LATE:

HILLARY HAS ALREADY LOST THE IOWA CAUCUS

Change the ticker!!!

According to the early reports, EDWARDS IS LEADING!

I feel like I'm at the track. Anyone want to place a $2 bet? J/K

Schneider: Entrance polls show tight races on both sides
Posted: 08:22 PM ET

(CNN)– The first wave of our entrance polling is showing us what we expected in both fields. Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are in a tight race on the GOP side and Hillary Clinton is holding a narrow edge over Barack Obama and John Edwards on the Democratic side. These are just entrance polls, however, and the numbers are extremely fluid.

Hope Hillary wins. She is the best of all. Knows, has stamina, has proven to be above the stupid mass of republicans when they were after her husband… She didn´t collapse under this pressure. Witchhunt of hypocrite evangelicals who themselves are : pedofiles, homosexuals, sex abusers but on sundays they sit in church … In Europe they are famous for that. In Central America you see the same. Evangelicals is the export artical of the US. it is sheer hypocritism. The rest comes from China.

The worls needs a wise President. Not rich daddy´s sun, not a reverend, but a proven seasoned person. In that case you can also vote for Romney. He has a trackrecord. But unfortunately he talks too much about religion.. When do you seperate State from Church. You are the same as Iran, and Pakistan. Brrrr

I'm hoping for Huckabee and Edwards.

Huckabee is a religious nut and won't win.

Even if Romney wins for the GOP, he is also not electable. "Don't touch the hair!" Yeah, right.

Babywash…it must be nice to live in your own special dreamworld.

She will win Iowa, and she'll win in November too!

HILLARY '08!

Clinton Obama will be a compelling ticket. Edwards, for all of his idealism, isn't authentic. If I were to go for an anti-corporate, I would go Kucinch, He at least has a real record of fighting for the average American.

come on obama…!

KSmith - this Nation is betting everything. Unfortunately those are the stakes after two George W. Bush term debacles.

"Obama doesn't have near the experience and probably also will divide the country.

VOTE EDWARDS!!!"

Seriously? Edwards was a one term senator…

"Experience" is a fake qualification. It has some value of course, but anyone can get experience. I have a ton of experience with playing basketball, but I'm still not very good at it. I don't have nearly as much experience playing volleyball, but I AM good at that. I'll take someone with ability over experience any day of the week, and Obama strikes me as having ability. Ability to get the parties working together, ability to improve our standing in the world, and ability to solve old problems with fresh ideas. I don't get any of that from Clinton or Edwards.

my votes for Edwards!!!! and Huckabee (who, as stated before, is way too much of a religious extremist to be elected )

Clinton can help us!! Come on Hillary

Clinton, Obama, and Edwards are all adequately experienced and qualified for the nomination and to be President.

They likewise all CAN and WILL win the General election, given the incompetent job the Republicans have been doing.

You can base your own vote on who you think has the best vision for the country, but, please, let's not fall into the trap of attacking whether any other candidate are electable or divisive, as this is simply not the case for any of the front-running Dems.

Has anyone noticed that on the rep. pie chart there is about a mid-teens chunk that is unlabelled? Who does this represent…..could it be ron Paul?

Ron Paul!!!!!

Lets all pray that Ron Paul is elected - he is the only hope to break the elitist monopoly in Washington.

So this says…."The results are fluid. We'll name two candidates each. We know nothing."

Cool. Great reporting, CNN! I'm amazed they even mentioned Paul and Biden on the candidates page as well.

Vote for Ron Paul 2008!

I think Paul might be a surprise tonite if he can pull a 3rd place finish maybe 4th?

Experience is Overrated! It took Michael Jordan three years to win a NBA Championship. Like in Sports and politics, there are always player/politicans who have a lot of experience but can't win the title. Obama is for change, Hilary is there just to be there, Edwards is trying to relive 2004!
VOTE OBAMA

The only democrat who can go toe to toe with any republican and know what he is talking about is Joe Biden.

Joshua - you can tell by the way they present themselves. Obama was at a rally and looked and acted more like he was on some stupid game show.

Obama does not have what it takes.

On another note, DEMS will win the General Election this year.

HUCKABEE FAIR TAX ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEAL BOORTZ FOR 2012!!!!!!!

does anyone else think it is so revolutinary that out of the three front runners one is a minorty and one is a women?I think its great

all i hope is that people can look past their sexism and racism and actually pick who is best for the job…

OBAMA!

I predict Clinton will win in Iowa by a very small percentage.

Tim Warner

I'm pretty sure a three legged cat with a cough could beat anyone on the republican ticket, except for maybe Blitzer/ O'Reilly. I'm not sure where all the "Hillary is unelectable" drivel is coming from, who wouldn't want a proven leader sharing pillow talk with a great former president?

Stop making this about Obama / Clinton…Edwards is in the lead…REPORT THAT CNN!!
Edwards…Hope for Americans!

I'm hoping Ron Paul shows strong. People will start to take him seriously if he does - and then maybe people will vote for who they believe in, not who they believe will win.

Our country NEEDS RON PAUL!!!
Go Dr. Paul –> Save our Country!
Give us Hope for America !!!!!!!!!!
VOTE RON PAUL !!!!!!!

I hope Obama wins he is so down to earth and can bring us out of the dark and into the light!

Seth, I am also from Vt. I have come to realize over time that all politicians, regardless of party represent the worst of the worst. Look at the legislature in this state!
Anyone of real quality is involved in some sort of private sector profession.
I have given up on the entire bunch of them…regardless of party. They are the lowest of the low and all liars.

There is sense that Obama might win Iowa—but there is no evidence to prove it.

Iowa is showing vision!

Ixnay on Clinton and Obama! Edwards leads!!!

There is no such thing as experience when it comesto real politics. the real issue is leadership with a sense of direction… OBAMA IS BLAMELESS AS A SHEEP, LET HIM INTO THE WHITE HOUSE

It looks like Obama, Edwards, Clinton

I use to be a Republican..then corporate America high jacked my Party. I am now and INDEPENDENT!
John Edwards…the only candidate that shines the light on the selling out of America to special interest, foreign markets, and Washington lapdogs!
Take note…no one in the news FOX, CNBC, CNN want you to hear what Edwards has to say…they seek to silence his voice like that of Paul and Huckabee. Ask youself why…

finish already so I can go to bed!!! it's 3am in Berlin

its going to be Obama and Huckabee. more than 50% newcomers and 60% evangelicals.
GO OBAMA

EXPERIENCE…if is is how to subvert the democracy, Clinton or Guilani is your candidate…same ole thing as Bush

Stop sidetracking the real issue. We want an end to big corporation interference and only BARAK HAS THE CAPACITY TO DO SO. It is not about color but the content of his character that matters,,, BARAK HAS THE CHARACTER AND THE HEART.

Clinton will never share the ticket with an African American…two firsts? Clinton will never share such a spot light…it will be Clinton/Richardson

I do like Senators Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and John Edwards. However, I am glad to see Barack Obama getting the vote of the younger generation. I applaud our younger generation for getting out and voting! You can make the difference in the election. And a change is needed in this country! And I hope that Barack wins!

Enjoy the evening!

Ron Paul for sure!!!!

Seth in Vermont - a great former president? Did you not see him try to redefine the word "is"?

Republicans apparently picked Huckabee. He may be a nut but at least he isn't as fake as Romney.

Bye Mitt. Iowa looks like it might be the beginning of the end for you.

I agree the reports by D. Brazille are pro-Hillary but at least she signs with her name instead of remaining an anonymous 'CNN correspondent'. I'm in a different time zone so I will have to see the outcome in the morning. I am surprised that Obama is being accused of being atheist whilst many overlook Romney's mormon beliefs.

BARAK IS A REPLICA OF LINCOLN, LUTHER KING AND KENNEDY— ALL GREAT MEN OF OUR TIMES.

Richardson doesn't stand a chance, many would disagree with his UN background

With the complexity of the situation in the middle east and the economic nightmare that is looming due in part to the housing "bubble", I am far more comfortable having the Clintons in office. Remember Bosnia? Remember what is was like to have a true middle income? I am sorry but I remember the 2000 elections…Bush, the good Christian you would like to have a beer with….Look where that got us.

As far as Obama, I think he has potential, but this is not the time to "try out someone new". If he is truly dedicated to making America better, he will accept a Vice-Presidency and run later with more experience. His wife says no, if he is not elected now then forget it, it would be to disruptive to run for president again. I hope that she is just venting some frustation and is over tired. It would be really sad if she truly meant it. I have a feeling 4 to 8 years in the White House is even more disruptive then a running a campaign.

Barack Obama won't be able to win in the general election. As much of a nut that Huckabee is, Obama (or Hillary) will polarize the vote and give us another 4 years of bizarre and reckless misleadership.

Come on Iowa - you know Edwards is the only choice.

I am really amazed at the ridiculous level of retarded thinking in these comments. Anyone who has any understanding of history, anyone who has any understanding of monetary logic, anyone who is educated and has a grasp of reality, and most importantly ANYONE WHO HAS DONE ANY RESEARCH AT ALL !!!! would know that the only real candidate with integrity and will do what he says and can back up what he says with valuable historical precedence, WILL VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!!! You brain dead lemmings who follow Hillary (who is the very definition of the say anything to get your vote. Have you idiots no sense, she is a communist and she wants to run your life and tax the hell out of you!!!!) or Obama (the guy who really doesn’t say anything of substance, but he is bought and paid for by AIPAC) or Romney’s flip flopping or Huckabee’s band wagon jumping on Ron Paul’s IRS abolition platform, would see the flaws in every other candidate, except for RON PAUL !!! He is the closest thing to a Founding Father this country has seen since the Founding Fathers. We have such a precious opportunity to put a leader in office that is truly a man of integrity and action. Don’t you sheep see that voting for any of the other candidates is just the same old crap. Grow up people…get educated…VOTE RON PAUL 2008 !!!! and save this country

Obama is the right choice,the man is a born leader. It shows in his every
action. a briiiiant Harvard scholar.

Fred, I missed it in all the serious issues; trillion dollar surplus, international respectability, civil rights, responsible taxation… I think a nation that would allow impeachment proceedings for a character flaw and block them for, well, most things Bush/ Cheney needs someone to lead us in a better direction. Do you doubt B. Clinton's effectiveness or record as president vs. the republican administrations of Bush I, II or III?

It's still very early folks. There will be plenty of time to crow (or cry) about your chosen candidate's results later. If your candidate's leading now, they might not be in 10 minutes (and vice versa).

I will say that I'm not sure whether to crow or cry about Huckabee being the projected winner on the GOP side. I guess I'll just chuckle and shake my head in bewilderment that such an obvious liar and corrupt, manipulative tax-and-spend "Republican" suckered so many people into voting for him. It doesn't say much about the sophistication of the Iowa voter, that's for sure, but at least he'll be a pushover for ANY Democratic candidate in the general election.

How do you get to participate in a caucus? A registered voter, I'm sure. In your own precinct ? Can any member of a precinct participate?

Barak has won precinct # 53 and still winning more. Iowa has fallen to Obama and so will the Presidency… Clinton and Edwards cn go to sleep now

CNN has been consistant…no matter what Clinton always leads,they do this is case some hanky panky goes on to remove Obama inevitable lead and they can say they called it for Clinton.

I can't see how anyone can vote for Hillary or Obama… or anyone in the republican party besides Ron Paul.

Anyone who won't take preemptive war off the table… doesn't deserve consideration.

Are we fascist run by our own war machine… These senseless wars hold up our Blood Dollar is rediclous… and evil.

Dennis K- Mike Gravel - Ron Paul only candidate who aren't bought and paid for by special interest groups….

The media is bought as well… mainstream media our nearing full on propaganda.

Vote for who you agree with mostly not for who you think is the winner… when we stop voting for who the "projected winner" we might get a reasonable candidate instead of these corrupted politicians who steal from the American people.

Once the dollar collapse there will be a real revolution.

Thank You Everyone For Voicing Your Concerns about the Election and The Iowa Caucus. However, It is quite Evident That Barack Obama Will Win The Iowa Caucus and The Overall Vote As Our Next President Of The United States. While Listening To The Democratic Debate, It is quite Evident That Senator Barack Obama Has The Top Ideas For Retirement Planning and Universal Health Care. Those are The Top Two Major Issues That We The America People Need To Concern OURSELVES With. Social Security Is Fading Away Slowly In This Country, One of the MANY THINGS Franklin Delano Roosevelt Fought To Provide For Us. With That Being Said, Senator Barack Obama Is The King To Deliver Us Out Of Poverty And Provide Us More Wealth Through Great Social Security Funding and Efficiency. Let's Forget About The War of Iraq and Iran and Vote For the Better Guy In This Endeavor To Preside As Our Nation's Leader. Economics Is Essential To The Leading Of A President, And The Only Candidate Focused on the is Senator Barack Obama……Good Night and I Rest My Case………..Thank God For Giving Us A Good Man Like Senator Barack Obama To Save our Country, To Save Our World. GOODNIGHT! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! GOD BLESSED AMERICA! IN GOD WE TRUST TO PULL OBAMA THROUGH FOR US!

~RDM~

Did CNN run out of construction paper? I love that big empty section of the pie chart that should have been filled with Ron Paul 10%.
They made a pie chart slice for Richardson with 2%.

If Kucinich had gotten 10%, do you think they would have totally ignored it?
Me neither.

Huckabee? Not really.

Thanks Iowa for a bonehead choice. You must be the same people making "Snoop Dogg - Fatherhood" a hit on MTV! I know there are people out there like you, I just don't know any personally!

Good job CNN, keep calling it for Clinton no matter what. So sorry, you were WRONG!
