Official Iowa Caucus Results Thread

Given what's out, I'd be a little surprised if Santorum's not the winner, whatever winner means in this race.

[Sam Spade]

Nearly a three-way tie.

All in all, the ultimate winner is someone not running in the Republican caucus.

Please keep your useless drivel to the approval ratings thread, thank you.

What is Bachmann trying to prove? She got 6 points in her de facto home state.

She's trying to act as a stalking-horse for Romney.  But that's been rather clear for almost forever.  She isn't smart enough, of course, to figure out that she gains nothing from that.

And now the race actually begins...

If Santorum wins tonight, it is a monument to wasting time in a state that cares about you wasting time in their state when you have a whole bunch of crappy opponents.

[Sam Spade]

I really kinda wanna go to bed, now.  Geez.

There's no law saying you have to stay up to watch this crap.

[Sam Spade]

This is seriously a Reaganesque speech.

Please get off your knees before Michelle Bachmann's husband decides to join you.

What is so special about Rick in keeping and re-attracting manufacturing jobs to the US?  I don't recall him being a protectionist type per se (I won't vote for a protectionist, but then I won't vote for Rick anyway, but I digress). So what makes him special?

Considering where he's from, why is his position here surprising?

No, what is special about Rick's policy prescriptions? Mittens talks tough about China too (currency "manipulation"), although of course the US has very little bargaining power vis a vis China at the moment.

You are getting into details that most voters don't care about.  Just saying China would work for Mitt too if anyone believed him.

If this is going to turn into another Keystone Phil vs. the world thread, please lock it.

Also, it is kind of funny to note once again how clueless the non-Christian western world is.  Not that I would ever support anyone like Santorum, but I understand where he's coming from.
