Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

The Iowa Caucus is over. From one of the closest votes ever emerges a winner. His hair combed neatly to the side and something resembling a smile on his face, Mitt Romney faces the reporters. Romney has just won the caucus by 8 votes. That's 8 out of over 100,000. This is a table that displays the results:


CANDIDATEVOTESPERCENTDELEGATES

Michele-bachmann_50 Michele Bachmann
6,0735.0   
—
Jon-huntsman_50 Jon Huntsman

These results had triggered several events. First, Michele Bachmann oficially dropped out of the running. Rick Perry also is considering whether to continue or not.


New Hampshire, the next battleground, may turn up different results.
