- George Bush, 7,418 votes–31.3 percent. A clear victory, but not decisive enough to clear the field.
- Steve Forbes, 4,921–20.8 percent. At $500 a vote, disappointing. Can’t call it a two-man race.
- Elizabeth Dole, 3,410–14.4 percent. Spent an eighth what Forbes did. Stays in with a strong third.
- Gary Bauer, 2,114–8.9 percent. Better than expected. The religious right’s clear choice.
- Pat Buchanan, 1,718–7.3 percent. Good enough to keep him in the GOP for now.
- Lamar Alexander, 1,428–6.0 percent. Toast.
- Alan Keyes, 1,101–4.6 percent. Pays no attention to results anyhow.
- Dan Quayle, 916–3.9 percent. Burnt toast.
- Orrin Hatch, 558–2.4 percent. Running for president: a terrible idea.
- John McCain, 83–0.4 percent. Ignoring Iowa, he needs to run strong in New Hampshire.
- John Kasich, 9–0 percent. Nine people don’t know he dropped out already.
- Bob Smith, 8–0 percent. Bob who?
