So, we've just returned from our caucus and it looks like Obama is the winner-- and a strong finish at that. The statewide returns were mirrored at my local caucus where there were 315 attendees and you need 48 people to be viable. Obama got 4 delegates, Edwards 2, and Clinton 1. And, it's interesting to note that Clinton wasn't actually viable in the first round of balloting. Most of the Biden and Dodd folks went to Edwards, and while the Richardson folks were the last to fall, they split between the Obama and Edwards camps.Now, some of you may ask, how am I feeling about this? Okay is the answer. I think that Obama is fantastic and I'd be happy to see him win the nomination. I'm a little worried about Edwards. Hillary has the money to continue in New Hampshire and beyond, but Edwards' financing is more tenuous. The next week or so will be telling.
Stay tuned.

Personally, I wish Edwards would drop out: #1, he's taking a lot of votes away from Obama, and #2, he made his millions suing obstetricians who'd done nothing wrong; they just had the misfortune to be around when a baby was born with cerebral palsy (and they had a lot of insurance).
