Which means that Milt has won exactly one primary, in a state where he owns a home and that is next-door to the state he was governor of.

[BagCamAddict]

Bump.

[kevao]

Wow, that was fast!

[faucetman]

He is still a LOSER. Get out now Rick. It’s over. Listen, .... the fat lady is singing.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep then say goodbye
You won’t be seeing rainbows anymore

Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you “That’s all, that’s all”
But you’ll see lonely sunsets after all

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over
It’s over

A meaningless outcome - to MOST people. But NOT to Mittens. It means a LOT to him. How do I know? Because when asked by John King what he might do differently in his campaign so far, he said “I would have worked harder for those 25 votes in Iowa”. So I will revel in the fact that Mittens is stewing over this overturned result.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

now that the two playtime states are done the real deal starts in 5 hours.. the winner there will be flooded with endorsements, numerous new campaign staffs all over the country and lots of cash

[Vendome]

True dat.

[glock rocks]

Yah, but at 8 votes, ABC said he won Iowa!

Mitt won Iowa!

A few dozen votes the other way when reality bitch-slaps, then it’s:

Virtually a tie!

Newt was right spot on the money when he said the press is in the tank for the Kenyan.

Breaking news? Really?

What a disaster the Iowa Republican Party is. Santorum worked hard and set himself up to benefit from the Romney carpetbombing against Newt. That is ancient history now. Seems like Iowa was months ago.

[Stonewall Jackson]

Ah, poor Mit-Wit. He’s so sad. ;-)

[RC one]

ya have to wonder what the deal was with those 8 precincts that never had the votes counted. Iowa kind of dropped the ball. Congrats to the Santorum people either way though.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

The yarn of Mittens is coming unraveled. Only kittens like Mittens.

[Sister_T]

At 18 minutes before midnight Friday, South Carolina time, the Republican Party of Iowa released a statement revising its Thursday announcement that reported Santorum ahead of Romney but also saying the two-week-old race had no clear winner.

Huh?! When Mr. Romney was ahead by eight votes, he was the "clear winner". Now, Mr. Santorum is ahead by over 30, and there's "no clear winner"?! I swear, I'll never understand this "progressive/liberal" math.

[Trueblackman]

Karl Rove is deeply sadden!

[glock rocks]

Rebellion is brewing!!

We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years.

The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.

The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.

The Republican Party of Iowa right acting irrationally as usual!

[Yaelle]

Congrats, Rick! Congrats also on getting the $1 million in donations within 72 hours.

May newt and Rick somehow Both come in ahead of Romney somehow tomorrow!

[Kaosinla]

I’m a Newt supporter and have my own issues w/ Rick S. regarding his record and stances. However, this is another glaring example of the blue blood, RNC manipulation of the conservative electorate with pay to play politics. How many weeks did we have to endure Rove and the Republican elite in trying to anoint Mitt just as the DNC did w/ Obama. “There hasn’t been a candidate to win the first two states” blah blah blah.

As If we didn’t need another example of there being strangers in OUR HOUSE.
This is a multiple front battle

[Blado]

Hey Rick, that and $1.50 will get you across the Bay Bridge. Oh wait.. it’s more now?
