Result of the Iowa Caucus

It was a close race between Romney and Santorum in the Iowa caucuses this week. However, Romney pulled through by a mere 8 votes. They were tied at about 25% for the majority of the caucuses, but it just wasn't enough for Santorum. Ron Paul also had a good run receiving 21.3% of the votes. Bachmann, with only 5% of the votes, ended up dropping out of the presidential race completely after the lack of support from voters. Huntsman didn't take the Iowa caucuses too seriously and ended up with only 0.6% of the votes. Apparently Buddy Roemer is still in the race, but it doesn't look very hopeful for him considering he only received 31 votes total in the caucuses. All except for Bachmann will be continuing to New Hampshire for another primary. Perry said he is going to head back to Texas to do some "reevaluating" after receiving about 10% of the votes in Iowa. He may raise more votes in New Hampshire if he plays his "reevaluating" cards right. Ten days can change a lot, so we'll see who is able to pull through then and who will end up falling through the cracks.
