Mitt Romney Edges Out A Win In Iowa Despite Santorum Surge /
At 12:40 a.m. this morning the race for the Republican nomination for president was still too close to call. There was no surprise that Mitt Romney (left) made it to the final finish, but his challenger was a surprise to everyone outside the state of Iowa. At the last minute, Rick Santorum (right)surged ahead of all of the other GOP candidates to end up on the hems of Romney—who has managed to maintain front runner status since the beginning of the race. The Romney campaign should rightfully claim victory for their win in Iowa, but it would behoove them to acknowledge last night’s real winner—Rick Santorum. For someone like Santorum (who came from single-digit poll numbers) to come that close (eight votes) to beating someone who has managed to hold on to their front-runner status since the beginning of the campaign is the ultimate momentum builder, and that, the Romney campaign should be very afraid of. Take a look at Rick Santorum’s pretty powerful speech last night, before Mitt Romney was named Iowa’s Republican pick.
Mitt Romney spoke shortly after Santorum, giving a very combative and arrogant speech—targeting President Obama.
With unemployment numbers at a two-and-a-half-year low and 20 straight months of private sector job growth—I’m not sure the anti-Obama message that Romney’s spewing is going resonate with many Americans in the general election. Your thoughts?
