Santorum With Very Slim Lead Over Romney in Iowa

Right now, Rick Santorum is leading Mitt Romney with 99% of the votes counted in Iowa, 29,944 to 29,926.  Ron Paul is third with just over 26,000 votes.  Newt Gingrich was fourth at 13%, Rick Perry fifth at 10% and Michele Bachmann sixth at 5%, and Jon Huntsman at 0.6%  See statistics here.

Hmm, the boring Republican race just got interesting.  Santorum's showing gives him additional credibility, more donations and momentum going into New Hampshire's primary on January 10.

Hope lives.
