Idaho Dems turn out for Obama

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.
