    @MattStrawn tells us it's too soon to call it despite what @FoxNews is reporting. One precinct left to confirm. #iacaucus

    Santorum, really? Quick, someone check on Dan Savage to make sure he hasn't been struck by lightning or anything.

    All Story Co precincts reported, per chair Cory Adams. Delay due to precinct w/ 20 platform planks to debate. No truck to blame @BretBaier.

    Bottom line: Santorum should get the cover of Time Magazine and that's what Iowa is about...momentum. #iacaucus

    A new dynamic developed tonight: Romney continues focus on general election, Gingrich to nag Romney, Santorum to try and ramp up
