Aw, you lost Iowa, so now yo're being "set up." Show me a gracious loser, & I'll still show you a loser. Like Ron Paul.

"The Tea Party Rebellion Heads To The East Coast."

Where it gets its ass kicked again. Keep polishing that turd of a 3rd place finish, Cwint. Seems like a job that suits you.

No one ever said to the winner of the first game of the World Series, "Gee, you only won by one run."

A win is a win.

Dan| 1.4.12 @ 6:17AM

Not in politics, and especially not in a state that Romney has saturated with ads for seven long years.

Unless you're a Romney lover or something, and your parroting his line?

PCC| 1.4.12 @ 8:10AM

I'm sorry, Dan, but, with all due respect, do you disagree with my point that 'a win is a win'?

Dai Alanye| 1.4.12 @ 11:28AM

In the nominating process moral victories count for more than actual ones. Look for large changes in the New Hampshire polls this week.

Gadfly| 1.4.12 @ 11:59AM

In this case, I disagree. A win is a tie, at least as far as delagates go.

Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 1.4.12 @ 5:28AM

Is it just me, or did Santorum lose?

ml| 1.4.12 @ 6:06AM

There is no clear winner in Iowa.

Dan| 1.4.12 @ 6:16AM

Have you lost it or something?

Romney DOESN'T EXCEED the vote total of four years ago, in terms of percentage or actual vote totals, ----------------- yet he's the "electable" one?

Romney would have lost to Gingrich but for a massive onslaught of bombardment against Gingrich!

Romney is the MOST vulnerable of them all remaining, {that is Gingrich, Santorum and Romney}.

Let's see how Romney does with just the three of them left!

It's tremendously important that Bachmann cease doing the bidding of her master Romney, and depart the race, as Palin observed.

Dai Alanye| 1.4.12 @ 11:29AM

Dead center.

somnolence| 1.4.12 @ 6:58AM

Romney simply has the money to go all the way if Santorum and Gingrich remain in the race and he stays at 25 percent at least in every state entered. He isn't my first choice, but I'm prepared for the inevitable. Santorum is my hope for the moment, and I actually believe he will BENEFIT from his stance on social issues, especially in the Hispanic community.

somnolence| 1.4.12 @ 7:03AM

Perry and Gingrich BOTH had a PITIFUL showing last night, simply PITIFUL. Romney will be just as competitve as Gingrich in S.C. wait and see. No, I see reality, and I haven't lost it.

somnolence| 1.4.12 @ 7:04AM

For all the MILLIONS those 2 spent on ads, simply breathtakingly PITIFUL.

Mormon Girl| 1.4.12 @ 7:15AM

I'm very proud of our effort here in Iowa. BYU volunteers worked very hard since summer campaigning for Mitt. Eight votes is eight votes, I predicted Mitt would win in Iowa and he did. We thank the wonderful people of Iowa for their support. BYU Cougar strong!

Binx Bolling| 1.4.12 @ 9:46AM

Are you proud of his pro-abortion and pro-homosexual stands in the past?

Dai Alanye| 1.4.12 @ 11:30AM

I genuinely feel sorry for Romney, who has tried so hard for so little result. He'll make a good cabinet member, however.

martin j smith| 1.4.12 @ 7:53AM

"Winning by 8 votes is one way to look at it the other way is losing 24% to 76 % who voted NOT ROMNEY. Its like NOT OBAMA.

Ken (Old Texican)| 1.4.12 @ 8:26AM

Martin,
you are precisely correct.

I'm hoping Perry stays in and campaigns hard through Super Tuesday. Iowa has never been indicative of the eventual nominee.

Bob Grant| 1.4.12 @ 11:43AM

Tex,
I admire your loyalty to Perry but it's time for him to come back to Texas and give his votes to Santorum. The guy simply is not up to the task of running for/or being president.
The Texas governorship is perfect for him as it requires little more than being conservative and just staying out of the way. Heck, if he want's to be governor for life, let 'em.
Stumping for the conservative candidate would suit him and the cause well, that is, when boredom sets in and wants to reassert himself on the national stage.

It's moving day. Michelle left. It's time for Rick to as well.

WL| 1.4.12 @ 8:27AM

I thought Democrats were supposed to "find" votes at the end....

Notice to Anti-Romney Voters: You better not stay home in your primaries or caucuses in your states over the next few months...If you are going to beat Romney...It's going to take at least 2 to 3 percentage points to beat him...(just like the Democrats)...because if you don't...next time it won't be "miscounted" votes...It'll be a bag of ballots in a trunk...or a voting machine that got lost...or whatever it takes...

I knew the fix was in...when Carl Cameron accidentally said that Romney would stay in Iowa "tonight" and "celebrate his Victory"....2 hours before the "mistakes" were found.....

And when Carl Rove said that some mistakes had been reported...even before he told the results of the mistakes....that we were about to get the inevitable news...

IT'S MAGIC!!!!! Romney won...Release the crew to storm the room screaming behind Cameron...

It's a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!

WL| 1.4.12 @ 8:29AM

I wonder when the RNC is going to start giving us the Kim Jung Il Treatment....

And tell us Romney wins all the remaining primaries with 99.5%..........................................

Con Chef (NB)| 1.4.12 @ 9:01AM

Ron Paul Does Dos Equis:

His words carry so little weight, if you were to listen to them, your head would float away.

He's so knowledgeable about the Constitution, he told Madison & Jefferson what to put in it.

He KNOWS that the reason the Barbary Pirates REALLY attacked us was because we allowed Jews to settle here & that Thomas Jefferson was nothing more than an "early neo-con" stooge.

He is... THE MOST INSPID MAN IN THE WORLD

"I don't always try to make Neville Chamberlain look good, but when I do, I prefer to run for POTUS as a "conservative." Keep goose stepping, my Stormfront friends!"

aware| 1.4.12 @ 11:39AM

Jefferson had absolutely nothing to do with the Constitution. But don't let facts get in your way.

Nick| 1.4.12 @ 10:22AM

Only in Bizarro World can Romney consider this a victory.

As Mr. Goldstein points out this morning, Romney spent $113.07 per vote, while Mr. Santorum only spent $1.65 per vote. Rick was outspent by over a hundred-to-one.

When you're expected to win, as Romney was, and focus all your propaganda, in the form of negative ads, on Newt, and then let someone who was in single digits right before Christmas,
You Have Lost!

Also, did anybody stay up and watch Romney's, um, victory? speech? No. It wasn't really a victory speech, because Ann and Mitt both reminded all of us that "all the votes haven't even been counted yet." What ever you want to call it, it wasn't even in the same league as Rick Santorum's "My Grandfather was a Coal Miner" speech.

Fox News, which seems to be Romney-Central lately, during the last part of Mr. Santorum's speech, for some reason decided to use 2/3 of the screen to show Romney's HQ, and give Rick the right third of the screen. The funny thing was Romney's supporters were just as riveted as I was to the former Senator's victory speech. Until, they noticed that they were on t.v., that is!

Go, Rick, Go!

martin j smith| 1.4.12 @ 10:52AM

John Tabin --you must, like your colleagues in the Washington Based Republican Elite think voters do not know what is going one: Just you watch. What I hope for is an agreement as to the NOT ROMNEY and knock him out. That would be fun. Enough with John McCain and his ilk--he failed, lets go to some other type --one who say really wants to WIN AND BEAT OBAMA.
