According to CNN, Willard "Mittens" Romney won the Iowa caucuses by just 8 votes over Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum. Everybody knew this was going to be a close contest, but I'm not sure anybody expected it to be that close. It will be interesting to see how the picture changes as we move into New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Of course, I believe that the real story is going to be whether the socially conservative voters will warm to Romney as the primary season progresses or coalesce around one of the non-Romney candidates.
