Probably the best move Mittens can make. He can't fight and the tie thing just looks petty after he claimed victory with an 8 vote edge.

Also Mittens may want to pump up Santorum as a foil against Gingrich. Mitt is stuck under 30%. With Perry out of the way and Paul at 20% he needs Newt and Rick to split almost equally to stay alive. Newt's ex-wife stories aren't going to help him with the social conservatives. So if Mittens can have them sending them to Santorum is the next best thing from his perspective.

I don’t understand why the Iowa Republican Party was more than willing to award the contest to the Mittster when he was ahead by eight votes, but they’re now unwilling to provide the same courtesy to Santorum when he’s ahead by 34. Can someone help me out?
