It’s not a certified win because of missing votes, but no less it is a victory for Santorum. Unfortunately there is little if any momentum to be garnered now from the 34 vote victory but still it is a feather in his electoral cap and we’ll see in a couple of days if it adds any weight to his candidacy:
CBS NEWS – Rick Santorum is leading front-runner Mitt Romney by 34 votes in a surprise flip to the final tally of the Iowa caucuses, but no winner will be declared because some votes remain missing in the event’s closest finish ever, Republican officials said Thursday.
Romney had initially been considered the winner — by just 8 votes — of the first contest in the GOP presidential nomination contest.
