Reports of Clinton non-viability also come from Grinnell Ward 1, where the Clinton group sent supporters to Joe Biden to help him reach viability and prevent Obama from padding his already big delegate margin. Biden was also viable where Clinton was not in Ames Precinct 4-4, centered on the Iowa State campus.

As a delegate for Obama from Ward 1, I will say that most of the Clinton supporters went to the Edwards group, not the Biden group. The Biden group gained its viability mostly because of Dodd and Richardson supporters joining the group. That said, many Hillary supporters left the group and didn't follow the leaders' strategy. For instance, in realignment, I found myself sitting next to a Kucinich supporter with a Clinton supporter two seats away (we were counted in the auditorium).

I wonder what her campaign or Edwards could have done to do significantly better on the college campuses. From what I hear from college students, there was a tremendous bandwagon effect to Obama. It is hard to get students to support you when all their friends are for someone else.

Can't remember who wrote it, but Johnson, Story and Polk County alone accounted for almost all of Obama's winning margin. That was a tough nut to crack for the other candidates.
