Winning, Losing, Virtual Ties, and the Iowa Primaries

Posted by Jordan Heimer On February - 19 - 2012

 

If you follow politics, you may recall some confusion back in January concerning the results of the Iowa Republican primary caucuses. Although Mitt Romney was initially declared the winner, a later tally, after the votes were certified and recounted, showed Rick Santorum ahead by 19 votes. The 24-cable news channels reacted with their usual mix of even-headed reserve and dedication to context. “If I were Rick Santorum, I would be yelling and screaming about this,” said CNN’s Paul Steinhauser. “I would be talking about this non-stop.” In other words – Get really, really upset Rick! You got screwed!
