[0:14] Montdale came in first as expected, but
[0:17] everything else was unexpected. We'll be
[0:19] telling you the whole story this morning
[0:20] on the CBS Morning News as we bring you
[0:23] from Iowa the results of the caucuses on
[0:26] this February 21st. It's a Tuesday. And

[1:21] Ruben Ascu. John Glenn, who is expected
[1:24] to finish second, came in seventh. LM
[1:27] Tucker is in Boston with Glenn and he
