March 15, 2008--Black Hawk County Democrats arrive for the County Convention at Central Middle School.  The January 3 precinct caucuses selected 420 delegates to this Convention: Biden 6, Clinton 117, Edwards 114, Obama 179, Richardson 4.  Now, about a month and a half later, these 400-plus delegates elected 117 delegates -- 63 Obama, 33 Clinton and 21 Edwards -- to attend the District Convention on April 26 and the State Convention on June 14.  Black Hawk County's 117 delegates will account for 4.68% of the 2,500 delegates to the State Convention.
