I just chatted with two friends, one in Des Moines and one in Sioux City. Both precincts had a high turnout for Edwards and Kerry and a low turnout for Gephardt and Dean. The Des Moines numbers were really interesting. Dean needs to do well in the cities, and 65% new people if they're in college precincts aren't going to help him too much. Dean should be doing much better in the precinct. As a guy who sees Dean as my least favorite major Dem, It's really amazing how things have turned. Again these are two precincts.
In Des Moines a quick premilary count was:
- - Edwards
- - Kerry
- - Dean
- - Gephardt
