If Rick Santorum won Iowa, why is GOP calling it a 'split decision'?

To my way of thinking, Romney and Rove are Conservatives to the power of zero.
While Newt talks a great line, debates well, seems to be knowledgeable about our Constitution, I still note infractions that tell me he isn’t that sound when it comes to his politics. With his cheating on his spouses, and buying into the man-made global warming thing, he rates a ranking of being a Conservative to the power of 0.5.

The 'votes' aren't , the 'certified votes' are missing. They were reported, along with all the other unofficial votes in the initial totals cited as a Mitt 8 vote win. 8/1774 precincts either didn't file or severely botched their certification paperwork so they aren't being counted. But their unofficial totals are known and would double Rick's winning total if added in:
Santorum |
81 |
Paul |
64 |
Romney |
46 |
Perry |
31 |
Gingrich |
30 |
Bachmann |
15 |
|
Huntsman |
2 |

Total |
269 |
Santorum's margin probably more than squares what the MSM had been touting as Mitt's the past 2 weeks. And although the Iowa GOP isn't counting these 269 votes they have changed their stance and are now admitting Rick won the state. I hope there is an outbreak of journalism in the state and it in some way validates the above votes. 4/8 of those precincts and 162/269 of those uncertified voters were in one county, Lee, so just one good reporter could do most of it.

Some of the needed journalism has been done by the
Iowa Republican. Lee County chair says the "unofficial count" in their four precincts was correct and they have the actual ballots to prove it, they just weren't able to get the official paperwork in. Pocahontas chair also was quoted as saying his precinct's unofficial count was accurate. Nothing was mentioned regarding the other three precincts.
Add the confirmed and unconfirmed "missing" precincts to the certified ones to get the best nearly official Iowa totals

Iowa is not supposed to matter.
Iowa with open registration and similar same day sign up nonsense is a joke. Iowa and NH clearly have outlived their relavence to the nation as “first primary states”.
BTW NH, dispite continued hissy fits, Iowa is first.
