Big win for Obama in Iowa (again!)

Remember my posts about the forgotten election calendar, and how the multi-stage nature of the caucus process could result in changes to the delegate count?

Well, Iowa held its county conventions on Saturday, and it looks like Obama made a net gain of 10 delegates over Clinton (mostly at Edwards's expense), as compared with the originally estimated results from the precinct caucuses in January. To put it in perspective, that's a bigger gain than Clinton's 9-delegate edge in Ohio!

Of course, these new results are still estimates, since the county conventions only elected state and congressional-district delegates, not national delegates. Nevertheless, a good day for Obama.
