One fact which cannot be ignored regardless of the outcome is how the media (led by Fox News) has manipulated the public in support of Romney.

For the past couple of weeks, Fox News has been calling Romney "the big winner in Iowa", without even knowing the actual outcome, leading to their conclusion that Romney is inevitable. Yet, now there's a good probability that Santorum will end up the winner.

If the certification reflects a Santorum victory, will Fox and other media outlets be issuing retractions for all their inaccurate facts in stories about Iowa?

Maybe the better question for Fox News, is this type of reporting what "Fair and Balanced" means?

At this point in time only if it helps to stop Mitt. Now that we are in South Carolina Newt needs the votes to stop Mitt.

It does not matter that Santorum won as much as if Romney lost.

The Romney campaign has been playing it like a big victory but if he loses the delegates at this point in the game, it can make him look like a loser more than Rick a winner.

But then again, isn’t that what it’s all about?

If Santorum wanted to stop Romneymentum, he should have doing this since the night of the election. Any time someone called Mitt the winner of Iowa, dispute the fact as unproven, and call it a "tie" at best.

As it is, it's a 2 week old story. I don't see how he can hope to get any Santorumentum out of it.

Like Mitt's claim to have created 100k jobs, it will be nice to see his “won every state so far” disappear from the airwaves. Small consolation, but still nice to hear.
