A win is a win, BUT, Romney was here in 2008, has oodles of money & is in a dead heat with the LAST man standing, Santorum... that should trouble Romney!

Iowa G.O.P. Declares Mitt Romney Caucus Winner

The Iowa Republican Party pronounced Mitt Romney the winner of the state’s
caucuses Tuesday night by a margin of just eight votes over Rick Santorum, with
Mr. Romney receiving 30,015 votes to Mr. Santorum’s 30,007.

With Ron Paul coming in a not too distant third, the caucuses did not deliver a
clean answer to what type of candidate Republicans intend to rally behind to try
to defeat President Obama and win back the White House.

Once at risk of finishing last in the caucuses, Mr. Santorum had a meteoric rise
in the final weeks leading up to Tuesday’s vote. Appealing to social
conservatives and evangelicals, Mr. Santorum staked his entire campaign on Iowa
and had visited all 99 counties in the state by November. He will face a
difficult challenge in New Hampshire, where he has spent little time
campaigning.

Mr. Romney had gained confidence recently as he saw his Iowa poll numbers rise
and decided to compete more aggressively in the state. He will now head to New
Hampshire, where he has a strong hold in the polls.
