Romney the choice in Iowa (barely)

Well, the vote is in for the Iowa caucuses.  After going deep into the night, Mitt Romney won by eight votes in the Republican race over popular conservative Rick Santorum.  Ron Paul was a strong third with 21%, followed by once-favorite Newt Gingrich (the intellectual choice), Texas governor Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann and Jon Huntsman.


This is historic because, even though it was only by just those eight votes, a Republican that voted for abortion has won the nation's first contest.
