[0:08] This is the CBS Evening [music] News
[0:11] with Katie Kurrick reporting tonight
[0:13] from the law library at the Iowa [music]
[0:15] State Capital in De Moine
[0:18] >> and this is a special western edition
[0:20] from De Mo Iowa. Good evening everyone.
[0:22] We begin with breaking news. CBS News
[0:24] Now estimates that Barack Obama has won
[0:27] the Democratic caucuses with a lot of
[0:29] help from young voters. Obama beat the
[0:32] national front runner Hillary Clinton
[0:33] and John Edwards. Meanwhile, on the
[0:36] Republican side, CBS News estimates Mike
[0:38] Huckabe has won. He got a big boost in
[0:40] this state from Christian evangelicals.
[0:43] But a big disappointment for Mitt
[0:44] Romney, who spent a lot of time and
[0:46] money here and is looking to become the
[0:49] first Mormon president. Battling for
[0:51] third, John McCain, Fred Thompson, Rudy
[0:53] Giuliani, and Ron Paul. We have a team

[1:03] campaign spent a lot of time targeting
[1:06] young voters, and it worked.
[1:09] It did indeed. In fact, the bet that
[1:12] they made was that they could bring a
[1:13] lot of those young voters, the first
[1:15] timers, to the polls along with
[1:18] undecideds and independents. And it
[1:19] would appear that all of that worked
[1:21] masterfully for them. They're now
[1:24] projecting perhaps as many as 200 to
[1:27] 230,000 people attending these caucuses,
[1:31] which would be like a 100,000 more than
[1:34] 4 years ago. They're doing 10% better
[1:37] among seniors than they expected to do.
[1:40] They're doing better amo
