An Eight Vote Landslide: 2012 Iowa Caucus

Republican Candidates for the 2012 Presidential Election

 The 2012 Iowa Caucus was definitely one to remember. With just an eight point win, Mitt Romney is now in the lead for the Republican presidential candidacy. Romney's close win was against Senator Rick Santorum. Romney had a vote count of 30,015 and Santorum had a count of 30,007. With the election just around the corner, the race is starting to get really close. 

Will Romney have the same luck with the future caucuses to come? Let's hope so. Contrary to the other candidates tactics, Romney is appealing to a different group of voters. Candidates like Santorum and Perry have reached out to a more conservative voting pool. Romney is more willing to reach out to the general public. Hopefully this win will help be a good crutch for the New Hampshire caucus next week. 

A predicted poll from the New York Times is in favor of Romney. It's said that Romney has a 99% chance of winning with a projected number of 42.8% votes for the New Hampshire caucus. It seems like this second place runner is starting to have a great turn around. If he continues on this path, we may just be looking at our official Republican candidate for the 2012 presidential election.
