With 67 percent of the caucus results tallied, Barack Obama had 81 percent in Idaho, Hillary Clinton had 15 percent, 3 percent were uncommitted and 1 percent were for John Edwards, according to the Associated Press. A candidate needs at least 15 percent to meet the threshold for proportional allocation of delegates, so the final numbers will determine whether Clinton gets any of Idaho’s delegates or not. One thing is assured: Obama will get most of them. State Democratic Party Chairman Keith Roark said Clinton’s campaign clearly was outworked by Obama’s in Idaho. “They were paying almost no attention to Idaho at all until two weeks ago, and Obama’s people have been here since last fall,” Roark said.
