Who cares. Iowa is a joke.
They are religious nut cases who seem to think we are electing the head of a church, not a president. (i.e., Huckabee, Rev. Santorum)
If it turns out that Rick Santorum won, that’s NOT good news as Iowa more often than not chooses the LOSER, just ask Poppy RINO about his ‘Big Mo’ back in 1980. He went to New England after that and got his clock cleaned by the Gipper.
Looked good on him too. ‘Big Mo’ my azz.
Rush said yesterday they kept the count open long enough to get Mitt the votes he needed.

Huckabee: Santorum Could Go All The Way

Former presidential candidate and Fox News host Mike Huckabee tells Newsmax that Rick Santorum can make it all the way to the Republican presidential nomination — and says Rick Perry made an “incredibly bad blunder” in announcing that he was reassessing his campaign after the Iowa caucus.
Huckabee also warns Republicans that President Obama will launch a “vicious campaign” in his battle for re-election, but “the best weapon we have against Obama is Obama.”
Here’s what Santorum has to say:
“Here’s what I know,” Santorum told Fox News. “Having talked to the chairman Matt Strawn, who is the chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa, that all these counties are going to be reporting in, they’re going to be certifying them that there was one county where there was a 20-vote mistake in my favor but there was a 21-vote mistake in Romney’s favor so it actually netted out to what I understand is a one-vote difference.”
The statement came in response to claims of discrepancies by a Ron Paul supporter in Appanoose County, who told an Iowa TV station that he believes there was a 20-vote discrepancy in the numbers he recorded from his caucus and the numbers that the Iowa Republican Party reported.
“When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I’ve got a 20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa,” Edward True told KCCI TV. “Not Mitt Romney.”
True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page. He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa got the count right, he was shocked to discover that they hadn’t.
Monitoring a 53-person caucus meeting, True is adamant that Romney received only two votes. The Iowa Republican Party’s website, on the other hand, recorded that Romney received 22 votes from the meeting.
So this is all about a Ron Paul supporter scribbling something down on a piece of paper?
One doesn’t have to like Romney to this this is much ado about nothing.
