In a turning twist of events, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has supposedly won the Iowa caucus on January 3rd.  According to Reuters, Santorum won the Iowa caucus by a razon margin tally of 34 votes, according to the Iowa Republican Party.  Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was declared the winner there that night by 8 votes, but Romney now falls to second place.  Santorum receive 29,839 votes compared to Romney's 29,805 votes.  That's according to the newest figures.

What's the reason for the apparent mixup?  I don't know.  It doesn't make sense.  You wouldn't think there should be a mixup with the small number of votes.  That's anybody's guess.
