DES MOINES -- The first results of the Iowa caucuses are starting to roll in at caucus headquarters in downtown Des Moines, where hundreds of media and campaign operatives have gathered into the evening.

Very few precincts are reporting at this point, but Mike Huckabee is leading Mitt Romney in the early returns, while John Edwards narrowly leads over Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. By all means, though, take these results with a grain of salt. Final tallies are expected by 11 p.m. EST for the Democrats, earlier for the Republicans.
