Ron is dominating Polk County! This is so awesome.

Polk County accounts for 20% of the entire Iowa caucus vote.

Ron Paul has 28% with 25% of Polk County reporting. Romney is at 22%

There were 15,000 votes four years ago in Polk County.

30% of 15,000 votes is 4,500 votes. Amazing.

Polk County is looking good.

Only 14% reported right now, but Paul with a commanding 4% lead there over Romney and 8% lead over Santorum. That's a HUGE county.

And just as I write it, the reporting there doubled to 27%. Paul now with a 5% lead over Romney and 7% lead over Santorum. That's 839 votes for Paul. Assuming the percentages hold, that'll get Paul another 2,500 votes in that county. He'll get over 3,000 votes in that county alone!

Entrance polls should get better for us as time goes on re: young organized voters getting to the caucus later
