Paul: 6
Santorum: 6
Romney: 6
Gingrich: 4

There is no delegate count after Iowa. Iowa didn’t commit any delegates to any candidate.

The delegates haven't been awarded yet, they will be assigned at the state party convention based on the data from the caucus. The AP projects Santorum will get 12 and Gingrich will get 0, which reflects their respective popularity in the state and Gingrich's inablity to carry any of the state's 99 counties:

If there was an upset at the state party convention and Paul was awarded the same number as Santorum and Romney despite finishing several points behind, that would not reflect the votes cast. If Gingrich was assigned nearly as many delegates despite coming in a distant fourth and losing everywhere in the state, it would be a slap in the face to the electorate. Maybe you're hoping that happens because it would benefit your guy, but it certainly won't represent what happened on election night. Again, Santorum - 62 counties. Newt - Jack Squat.
