8:52 PM: Edwards backers still optimistic

Edwards supporters began to file in to the reception at the Savery Hotel at about 8:30 p.m., just as major networks were declaring victory for Obama.

John and Heidi Hagen had caucused in Des Moines earlier in the night, and were sipping cold beers as they watched CNN analyze the results. John Hagen said at their precinct, a majority of the Biden and Richardson supporters gravitated to Edwards, but he still finished behind Clinton in that caucus.
But, despite some pundits saying Edwards bid is now all but over, Hagen said Edwards' fight isn't over.

"It's not over 'til it's over," he said. "The guy's a fighter. And that's what we need now."
