IOWA CAUCUS, Jan. 3, 2012 - All discussion and results (claims, Ron Paul, votes)

[tropolis]

8 precincts left.

appanoose has 2 precincts left, santorum is 1st in that county.
clayton has 4 precincts left, paul is 1st, romney 2nd, santorum 3rd.
clinton has 1 precinct left, romney 1st in that one.
crawford has 1 precinct left, santorum is 1st.

santorum is up by 34 points, i think he barely wins

For not making a concerted media effort and very few campaign appearances in Iowa, I feel that Romneys showing was pretty solid.

There has been for the most part, a general consensus that Romney would not come out of Iowa with a great result---as such he has been concentrating on N.H.

You can spin the caucas result any way you want----I believe a real good showing for Romney tonight.

I agree, especially given how many evangelical voters there are in Iowa.

Would you like to have coffee and let a liberal fill you in? My treat!

ARE YOU KIDDING?

Have you watched the MSM for the past week????????


Every MSM channel has been praising him as the one to win Iowa, the oh "praised non-romney leader".


The MSM gave him the win, and they will eventually take it away.

Good point but I never take the media seriously, and I rarely watch it...

I actually like Romney. I am weeping at the fact he is literally only 5-20 votes away from being one at a time.

COME ON ROMNEY! PULL THROUGH!!!

I couldn't agree more.

That aside, I like the fact that he actually worked hard meeting and visiting people in all the counties to register such a strong finish in Iowa unlike the Wall Street candidate Romney who thought he could just waltz in and buy the election.
