Please. You're not undecided, I'm not undecided, no one is undecided anymore. The scary math for Republicans is that if either Sanders or Clinton retains everyone who voted for Obama twice, he/she wins comfortably.

Reasons:

1) Voter fraud in at least one precinct. As you alluded to, this could only be one precinct.

2) I have seen reports of batteries dying in some smartphones. These are the first Iowa caucuses in which results are reported from each precinct by smartphone.

3) As Smash255 alluded to, size of some of the precincts. I do recall statements about "high turnout" at caucuses tonight. Seeing as Polk County is the largest county in the state by population, high turnout and the need to keep caucus doors open a bit longer than usual could play a factor.

I am not an Iowa resident, so beyond the verifiable facts (population size, the C-SPAN video,) I can only guess here.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a tie. Delegates, virtually tied. Popular vote, virtually tied. I can see scenarios where both Clinton and Sanders can claim "victories" in Iowa.

That just goes to show you exactly what the previous poster discussed, polls being wrong..

last one had trump up by 11, clearly it was wrong...

There was no way Cruz went from + 4 to - 11 to winning within a week.. but thats what happened..
The poll showing Trumpup 11 was an outlier even compared to the other polls that were out showing him up.

Judging Caucus turnout can be very difficult to predict, and turnout was high. You also had those who decided late, which according to the enterance polls broke strongly for Rubio (which was somewhat predicted in some of the last polls).

I am absolutely undecided, in fact. It's rather arrogant for one to suggest otherwise based on one very brief post, but I've come to expect as much here. I may in fact vote outside of my party for the very first time ever this election.

It's interesting that Bernie won 50% of the voters who supported Hillary in 2008.

How did you come up with this wild conclusion? Rand Paul's supporters will go to Marco Rubio???!!!

lol

Rand Paul's supporters will go to libertarian party if it is clinton vs Rino.
Let me ask, isn't Trump the REAL RINO in the Republican nominee camp? FYI, I don't think all the Paul support will vote Libertarian Party but who knows... My take away is Rubio is the best bet for a Red White House in 2016.
