===Iowa Caucus===
The first caucus was the [[Iowa Caucus]], which happened both for the Democrats and Republicans on January 3, 2008. The Democratic winner of the Iowa caucus was [[Barrack Obama]], who barely beat national frontrunner [[Hillary Clinton]] and former [[North Carolina]] Senator, [[John Edwards]]. The official results were:

Other candidates such as, [[Chris Dodd]], [[Dennis Kucinich]] and [[Mike Gravel]] did not gain a significant percentage. Because of the Iowa results, [[Barrack Obama]] was expected now to beat [[Hillary Clinton]] in the upcoming [[New Hampshire]] primary. Also, [[Joe Biden]] and [[Chris Dodd]] both withdrew from the race because of their low showings in the Iowa caucus.
On the Republican side, [[Mike Huckabee]] defeated [[Mitt Romney]] by an even closer margin. The results were:

| [[Mike Huckabee]]

|-
| [[John McCain]]
| 13%
|-
| [[Ron Paul]]
| 10%
|-
| [[Rudy Giuliani]]
| 3%
|}
Candidates such as [[Duncan Hunter]], [[Alan Keyes]] and [[John H. Cox]] didn't come out with a significant percentage. Romney's loss in [[Iowa]] set him back in the upcoming primary in [[New Hampshire]]. Huckabee's win however gave him surge in [[New Hampshire]] where he had before been very low in the polls.
