It is just past midnight and with 97% of the vote in, Rick Santorum is leading Mitt Romney by 37 votes in Iowa.

Even if Romney should prevail, Santorum is tonight’s winner.

A fortnight ago, Santorum was in Bachmann territory and likely headed for the exits.

Now Santorum has a chance to be the Republican nominee. Meanwhile, Romney can’t break the glass ceiling of 25%.

Time for bed.

Get real Aaron!

He won't carry his home state if he is the nominee. I know. I'm from PA.

They actually and really vote in the Presidential election. They do not caucus. OK?

There are 1 million more registered democrats in PA than there are Republicans. He can't get Republicans here to take him seriously let alone Reagan Democrats.

Paul won't carry it either. Sorry!

Santorum will easily carry PA because this isn't 2006, and he only has the woeful 3 year record of the graying Obama and the desperate posturing of Wasserman-Schultz to contend with. Cut and dried if you ask me. Add the baseball bats to the heads of anyone who blocks the polls in Philly like they did in 2008, and it is even easier. No, this isn't 2006, and the spectre of Specter just won't work for the Santorum detractors.

He didn't need detractors in 2006. He made his own bed when he first supported Spector and then was later undercut by Spector's liberal supporters. He hasn't done anything here since to keep himself politically active and before the Republican electorate and the Reagan Democrats.
