How much money was spent -by the rich Romney camp- per vote?
How much was spent by underdog, Santorum, per vote?
I liked the "shoe-string" [campaign finances] analogy the other day-- reply to interviewer, giving shoe-strings a bad name.
I thought it was Especially Big of Santorum to call Alan Colmes a good guy even after the "dying child as a plaything" painful comment with his added snear delivery. Colmes may have just helped Santorum, as that was despicable!!!

"Romney, Santorum in virtual tie in Iowa race
Caucus results up in air in historically close contest
"But it was Santorum’s performance that stole the show on Tuesday night, as caucus-goers rallied around the lesser-known former senator from Pennsylvania, who was handily out-spent by his better-funded rival."-- MARKETWATCH
As per Iowa GOP on Twitter:
Final results:
Romney - 30,015
Santorum - 30,007
Paul - 26,219
Gingrich - 16,251
Perry - 12,604
Bachmann - 6073
Hunstman - 745
Mitt wins by 8 votes. That is a loss.
