With all Idaho counties’ votes tallied, Idaho’s Democratic presidential caucuses overwhelmingly favored Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who took 80 percent of the vote. Hillary Clinton trailed with 17 percent, while 3 percent were uncommitted and John Edwards tallied 1 percent. Obama took 79 percent in the 1st Congressional District, and 80 percent in the 2nd CD. A record-breaking 21,224 Idahoans took part in the caucuses. That’s more than four times as many as took part in Idaho’s last Democratic presidential caucus in 2004.
