Obama wins a decisive first place, followed by Edwards in second place, then Clinton in third. Of course the Clintons will say Hillary was in a statistical tie with Edwards. OK, whatever. But this is not where the Clintons wanted to be after the Iowa results.Ed Morrissey:
8:28 - CNN calls it for Obama, with 73% of the precincts reporting. Hillary has an embarrassing third-place finish, at least so far. If that sticks, she has a big big problem with the rest of the race. New Hampshire is a dead heat, and if Obama wins that, the rest of the nation will begin reconsidering their support for the Clintons.
