The Des Moines Register reports that the final numbers are in from the Iowa Caucuses and the froth has risen to the top:
THE RESULTS: Santorum finished ahead by 34 votes
MISSING DATA: 8 precincts' numbers will never be certified
PARTY VERDICT: GOP official says, ‘It's a split decision'
Rick Santorum – Final total: 29,839 Change: -168
Mitt Romney – Final total: 29,805 Change: -210
It's a tie for the ages.
There are too many holes in the certified totals from the Iowa caucuses to know for certain who won, but Rick Santorum wound up with a 34-vote advantage.
