With 93% of the vote in, CNN shows Santorum leading Romney by 99 votes. Ridiculously close. Paul will finish in third followed by Newt.
Watching it now. Last I heard, Santorum and Romney were dead-even with over 90% of polls reporting.
As myp said---Very close.
I would love to see Santorum pull it off. I said in an earlier thread I expected him to finish in the top three, though I thought Mr. Paul would win Iowa.
Now Paul has a tough road ahead, going into the Northeast. We will see how he is embraced.
I had no doubt Santorum would fare well in Iowa, I just did not quite expect this. If you are Santorum, you have to be extremely pleased right now and hoping like mad you can pull this off.
If Santorum upsets the candidates and takes Iowa, this could be a huge bump for him in the polls and will be interesting to see how the rest of the states commence viewing him.

At this point I think both Paul and Santorum can count that as victories (especially the latter) and Romney is just going to have to keep moving. New Hampshire is heavily in Romney's favor right now though, so he has that to look forward to.
Santorum will struggle going forward because his organization is no where near where Paul and Romney's are- he has A LOT of work to do if he wants to stay a major player.
Rick Perry in his speech said he will be heading to Texas to see what to do now. Might suggest an early end for the governor. Who he endorses will be important if he drops.

Huntsman bringing up the rear with 1%.
I suppose saying, "They pick corn in Iowa. They pick presidents in New Hampshire," did not blow over too well out there.
Bachmann only getting 5% in Iowa hurts her bad. She will stay in because she is stubborn and actually believes she has a chance, but it will only get worse for her. If she cannot do better in a state like Iowa, she will bomb in the Northeast.

18 according to CNN. There is less that .02% between the two (yes, point zero two percent)- crazy.
It won't really matter- certainly not in delegates. The only difference would be in media coverage, but with a race this close I think they'll both end up sharing the victory in that regard.
8 people*
8 points does not mean 8 people, it means 8 percent. By definition (percentage point).
In the context of elections, points mean percentage points. No one uses points to signify people- have you ever heard anyone say candidate A won by 30,000 points today or something along those lines?
