Democrats in Iowa use the "neighborhood caucus" system to select delegates for presidential candidates, and to choose our local Democratic Party leaders. International media and the presidential candidates focus on Iowa because we give the world the first real evidence of which candidates can or cannot gain the Democratic nomination for president. We Iowans take this very seriously.

Overall, here are the FINAL percentages of delegates that each candidate won across Iowa:

Obama : 37.58%
Edwards : 29.75%
Clinton : 29.47%
Richardson : 2.11%
Biden : 0.93%
Uncommitted : 0.14%
Dodd : 0.02%
