Breaking: Santorum Wins Iowa: GOP Elites Declare Race A Tie
America's Conservative News ^ | 01/19/2012 | America's Conservative News

Posted on 01/19/2012 8:24:43 AM PST by ElIguana

Joyce Morris, a poster on Facebook, may have best described the frustration that is being felt by GOP voters: "The Iowa Republican Party has been caught in a lie and with their pants down trying to orchestrate a win for the 'Establishment' candidate, Romney. Isn't it interesting that on caucus night a lead of 8 votes was touted by all as a win for Romney but a lead of 34 for Santorium is a tie?"

If they declare it a “tie” does that mean Santorum and Romney each get half of the state’s convention delegates?

Kinda funny how that works isn’t it. Mitt is the hands down winner with an 8 vote undeclared lead but its a tie when the official vote falls in Santorum’s favor.

We already knew who the GOP “elites” fair-haired child was. This is just the confirmation. I wonder what the head elitists Rove and Krauthammer have to say about this today.

I guess I’m not sure what they would sue for? Bragging rights?

The delegate count will still be the same.

Reminds me of when the Democratic leadership took a bunch of Hillary’s delegates and gave them to The Messiah. Remember that?

The reason they declared it a tie is because there are 8 pricincts that cannot be certified as they have lost the ballots.

Congrats to Rick Santorum and may I add, you won it by all the hard work on the ground contrasting yourself with the others. Not by bashing your fellow competitors and spending a lot of money to destroy the others.

I never did believe Romney won Iowa. Between the truck on the way with the votes story and then the lost votes story and two hours passing in pure mystery, then Rove coming on saying it will probably lean towards Romney later, I felt sure Romney lost Iowa. I was right.

Have we ever heard how many Palin write-ins there were? Do you suppose we ever will?

Funny, but 5 minutes before I read this, I was saying the same thing to my husband, and he said I should post it on the internet. Now I don’t have to. lol
