Rick Santorum was robbed on election night and again last night. Who is the robber? The Iowa GOP establishment that runs the once fabled, now notorious, GOP Iowa caucuses.
Santorum got 34 more votes than Governor Romney, but the Iowa GOP political establishment is so desperate to promote its anointed nominee that it refuses to declare even now Santorum the winner. You see the GOP ran such an incompetent election that it just lost the votes from 8 precincts and so pathetically and conveniently declares the result a "split decision."
Like basketball and baseball, there are no ties in elections. One person wins and everyone else loses, even if it takes a coin flip. In Iowa no coin flip is needed.
Senator Santorum got 34 more votes than Mitt Romney, the man of the Cayman Island bank accounts and so many positions on each major issue that he can't keep them all straight.
Romney crowed after his home court New Hampshire win that he had made history by winning both Iowa and New Hampshire. False. Rick Santorum won, and the theft of his victory that disgracefully continues snatched the possibility of consolidating many conservatives behind him right after Iowa and probably reduced his financial bounce by $5 million.
Santorum is far, far from my ideal candidate. Yet America, Republican party primary voters, and Rick Santorum deserve fair elections. Rick Santorum was robbed in Iowa to the benefit of Mitt Romney, and that is a loss for all Americans.
