(Radio Iowa) — The Iowa Democratic Party will declare a winner in this year’s Caucuses as it always has — based on which candidate tops the calculation for number of delegates for the party’s state convention. However, for the first time, Democrats also will release two other tallies. One will represent the raw vote count for each candidate at the start of the evening. The second will be how people re-align, since some candidates will not have enough support in precincts to win any delegates. Professor David Redlawsk, author of the book “Why Iowa?” about the 2008 Caucuses, says that means there’s the potential that three candidates will claim victory.
“We could have a different initial vote. We could have a different realigned vote and then because delegate allocation is not exactly one-person-one-vote because of the way they’re allocated, we could have something else on the delegate allocation. You know: ‘You’re a winner. You’re a winner. You’re a winner,'” Redlawsk says. “Of course, the key with Iowa is not as much winning as it is surprising and getting everybody to talk about you the next day.”
Redlawsk made his comments during an appearance on Iowa P-B-S. The Democratic Party will release ALL THREE FIGURES all at once, after ALL precincts have reported. That means there will be no “early returns” but just one announcement at some time Monday evening — or perhaps Tuesday morning.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Anthony Cowan Jr. scored a career-high 31 points, Jalen Smith had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and No. 15 Maryland beat 18th-ranked Iowa 82-72 Thursday night to snap the Hawkeyes’ five-game winning streak. Maryland won its fourth straight and improved to 12-0 at home. Luka Garza scored 21 for the Hawkeyes and Joe Wieskamp had 17. Garza, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, was in foul trouble throughout.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) – Kathleen Doyle had 23 points and eight assists and No. 18 Iowa beat Penn State 77-66 to extend its win streak to nine games. McKenna Warnock scored 16 points, Alexis Sevillian added 15 and Makenzie Meyer 14 for Iowa. Kamaria McDaniel led Penn State with 19 points and Makenna Marisa scored 10.
MIAMI (AP) — Few Super Bowls in recent memory have appeared as competitive as 49ers-Chiefs. No wonder there’s a little more buzz about this one. History and excitement are a nice combination for any championship game. The history stems from the Chiefs seeking their first title since 1970 when they won the fourth Super Bowl in the final matchup of AFL-NFL. The full merger took place the next season _ and Kansas City hasn’t been back to the Super Bowl for which its founder, Lamar Hunt, provided the name. And the 49ers are seeking a record-tying sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
MIAMI (AP) — There are countless numbers that tell the story of how the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl. The Chiefs throw the ball at a rate rarely reached in NFL history. The Niners are running more frequently this postseason than any team since 1973. Kansas City thrives on deep passes, while San Francisco is the best at limiting them.
MIAMI (AP) — Patrick Mahomes learned his lessons at a young age and in a perfect place. He hung around major league locker rooms with his father, a journeyman pitcher, and saw what made the greats of the game so great. Columnist Tim Dahlberg writes the young Mahomes hung around superstars like Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. He watched how they prepared and saw how they dealt with both success and failure.With the Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the first time in a half century, the quarterback is poised to become the face of the NFL for a long time to come.
MIAMI (AP) — Even the oddsmakers aren’t sure about this Super Bowl. That’s how close the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers match up. The Chiefs are a 1-point favorite. That basically means a tossup. By kickoff on Sunday the 49ers could be the bettors’ choice. There could be almost as much action on prop bets _ does Kyle Shanahan remember to run the ball if the Niners get ahead 28-3 in the second half, for example? Or a lot more bets on the over/under. That stands at 54 1-2 and seems a bit low.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is courting what he calls “future former Republicans” to expand his base of support. They are potential Iowa caucus voters who are disenchanted with President Donald Trump and have gone so far as to change their party affiliation. They will stand with Democrats for Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses on Monday night, and Buttigieg is counting on them to help him assemble a winning coalition. Buttigieg isn’t the only Democratic candidate who has demonstrated appeal to Republicans dissatisfied with Trump. On Wednesday, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign made public a list of 40 Iowa Republicans or Trump voters who were supporting her in the caucuses.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa voters’ second choices could matter almost as much as their first in the upcoming caucuses. Candidates including Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer have been approached by multiple campaigns in recent days eager to form an alliance of sorts that could reshape the Feb. 3 election. It’s a delicate dance that plays out almost every four years during Iowa’s complicated presidential caucus system. In four days, it will test anew the leading campaigns’ capacity to assemble a winning coalition and the second-tier campaigns’ capacity to stay relevant.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — President Donald Trump lashed out at his top Democratic presidential rivals while taking his fight to the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa and the crucial battleground state of Michigan. With Democrats set to hold their nominating battle Monday, Trump slammed former Vice President Joe Biden for his small campaign crowds, mocked Bernie Sanders as “Crazy Bernie” and accused Pete Buttigieg of having an unpronounceable last name. He also rehashed old grievances and digs at 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton but said the current field of Democratic contenders offers him stiffer competition than the former secretary of state.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — With overwhelming uncertainty looming over the the Iowa caucuses, presidential campaigns are scrambling to navigate an evolving playing field in which voters’ second choices could matter almost as much as their first. Candidates including Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer have been approached by multiple campaigns in recent days eager to form an alliance of sorts that could reshape the Feb. 3 election. It’s a delicate dance that plays out almost every four years during Iowa’s complicated presidential caucus system.

The Glenwood girls basketball team ramped up some man pressure in the second quarter and flustered Atlantic on their way to an 80-50 victory on Thursday night. The Trojans held tight early with a 17-13 lead in favor of the Rams at the end of the 1st. The pressure in the second then forced a large number of Atlantic turnovers, and the Rams took advantage of those mistakes to grab a 38-18 lead at half. Both teams got the offense going better in the second half and the Rams gradually added a little to their lead. After the game Atlantic Head Coach Dan Vargason said Glenwood is just a solid team.
Glenwood was led by 14 points apiece from Jenna Hopp and Madison Camden. Elle Scarborough added 12, Emma Hughes had 13, and Coryl Matheny dropped in 10. The Rams stay unbeaten on the season, improving to 16-0. They will next host Treynor in a non-conference tilt on Monday.
Atlantic had three players in double figures, Haley Rasmussen and McKenzie Waters both had 12 and Tessa Grooms added 10. Despite the loss Coach Vargason was proud of the girls for continuing to fight through the game.
The Trojans fall to back to .500 at 8-8 on the season and they will travel to St. Albert on Friday night. We’ll have that game on KJAN with pregame at 5:50 p.m. and tip-off at 6:00 p.m.
