From the In Case You Missed It file, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum did win the Iowa caucus by 34 votes.
According to the latest count, Mr. Santorum has 29,839 and Mitt Romney, the presumptive winner, has 29,805.
And if that is not maddening enough the Iowa Republican party is not going to formally certify the results.
Why?
Because eight precincts did not follow the rules and thus they do not count in the final tally.
So, Team Romney is going to call it a tie. Team Santorum, rightly, calls it a victory.
Oh yeah, and this does not put a black mark on the whole Iowa process, doesn't it?
If they want to maintain the first-in-the-nation voting in the presidential race, they can not claim one thing on election night and two weeks later say never mind.
Team Santorum needs to emphasize the fact they won the Iowa caucus. It should be a huge boost in South Carolina on Saturday.
