It's a goat rodeo. And it will be interesting to see what happens in New Hampshire next week.Early and incomplete results from Iowa’s Democratic caucuses showed former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg narrowly leading Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a triumphant edge for two outsider candidates that was overshadowed by technical errors that delayed the vote count for almost a day.
The first batch of results, which accounted for 62 percent of the approximately 1,700 precincts across the state, showed Buttigieg leading with about 28 percent of the delegates who will eventually be elected to the national convention. Sanders was running second, with 25 percent of the so-called delegate shares.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had taken 18 percent of the vote, while former Vice President Joe Biden lagged in fourth place with just under 16 percent.

Buttigieg edged Biden among the 61 percent who said they preferred a candidate who could beat President Trump, a potentially embarrassing result for a candidate like Biden who staked his entire campaign on the ability to beat the sitting president.

Biden’s campaign sent a sharply worded letter to the Iowa Democratic Party on Monday, saying it was concerned about “considerable flaws” in the counting process — a sign that the former vice president might seek to discredit the results.
