Precinct 8:

We had 329 people show up at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Urbandale (suburban DSM) for the Republican caucus. The room was nearly over capacity so turnout was somewhat higher than expected.
As usual, the temporary chairman was voted in as the permanent chairman, and no one volunteered to represent the precinct on the platform or other committees. Short speeches were given. Sen. Lindsay Graham was there for McCain. Olympian Dan Jansen was there for Romney. The crowd was 100% white and nearly 100% over age 30.
Pct 8 had 15 delegates to sent to the Polk Co. convention, here’s the results:
Huckabee: 5
Romney: 4
McCain: 3
Thompson: 2
Rudy: 1
We had the whole thing wrapped-up by 8:10 PM. The Dems were still going strong, of course.
If Mitt Romney was going to do strong anywhere in Iowa, my affluent, well-educated neighborhood would be it. But it’s a caucus, not an election.
