While SC Primaries Are Focused On, Iowa Certifying Caucus Results: Santorum Ahead By 80+?

Susan Duclos - The optics of Mitt Romney winning both the Iowa and New Hampshire Caucuses/primaries favors Romney heavily and has led tothe general media spin of "Mitt's Inevitable", but while the nation'sfocus is on South Carolina which holds it's primaries on Saturday, January 21, 2012, many forget the Iowa Republican officials are still certifying and recounting the precinct votes.

Romney supposedly beat Rick Santorum by only eight votes and errors have been found in favor of both Santorum and Romney butthe final outcome is due to be announced this week.

Many pundits will claim that the only change that would occur is 'bragging rights" if Santorum ends up the final winner after the tallies are in, but in reality, a win for Santorum in Iowa takes the two-for-two win record away from Romney.

Reports show that the paperwork for 95 of the 99 counties have been submitted and they have until the close of business on Wednesday to get official paperwork to the Iowa Republican Party headquarters in Des Moines.             More
