And they're offEarly results from the Iowa caucus -- the first presidential poll that counts -- show a tight pack, with Edwards leading, trailed closely by Clinton and Obama. It's virtually a three-way tie and it could stay that way because nobody else really has any votes, so the Iowa provision of voters whose candidates get less than 15 percent of the vote getting to revote won't matter much.
BTW, local Obama supporters are gathering in a few minutes over at Tosca in North Beach, so head on over if he's your guy and you're looking for kindred spirits.

Obama is starting to pull away from the pack. This would be a big win for him, particularly after his comments on NPR this morning that his campaign was really counting on a victory (apparently he didn't feel a need to manage expectations). Also keep on eye on the Biden-Richardson battle for fourth place, and check this out: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/01/03/a_bidenobama_deal_1.html
