Mitt Romney wins the Iowa primary, followed by Rick Santorum

The results are in for the Iowa primary, and the top 2 winners are Mass. governor Mitt Romney and former senator Rick Santorum, with the former winning by just 8 votes ahead of the latter. Ron Paul thankfully didn't get as high as feared, though we mustn't be off our guard, as he'll still be a very likely problem.

Santorum's strong showing should be something to take note of, and he deserves some congratulations for his success.
