Iowa Caucus Shocker: Rick Santorum Declared Winner By 34 Votes [View all]

[DeathToTheOil]

The Des Moines Register released a bit of a bombshell Thursday morning, with a report that, when the votes are all certified at 9:15 a.m. Thursday morning, Rick Santorum — not Mitt Romney — will be declared the Iowa Caucus winner, by 34 votes.

“It’s a tie for the ages,” Jennifer Jacobs of the Register writes. She uses the term “tie” because eight polling locations will be given an “incomplete” for not turning in their Form E, which makes their count official (reading her article paints a portrait of total chaos and rule-breaking throughout the caucuses). For all intents and purposes, however, Santorum will be declared the victor.

The new final totals:

Rick Santorum: 29,839 Change: -168
Mitt Romney: 29,805 Change: -210

So, Mighty Mitt has won in his other home state, and that's it. Limp on, Willard, limp on!
