Just thought he deserved the headline.
Via TPM:
The Republican party of Iowa has finished it’s recount of the January 3rd Iowa caucuses and the certified final results show Rick Santorum came out ahead by 34 votes. So he ‘won’, right?
Well, not according to the state GOP. According to the state party it’s a “split decision” or a “tie.”
The rationale for calling this a tie, according to the Des Moines Register, which has the story as an exclusive, is that 8 precincts’ numbers are lost permanently and will never be certified.
What is it with Republicans and “lost” or “suddenly discovered” votes?
