NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Republican presidential contenders Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are in a statistical dead heat in Iowa while momentum is building for Rick Santorum, according to the last poll before the Tuesday caucuses that formally kick off the 2012 campaign..
"Chicago radio is reporting that the ballot counting for the Iowa Caucus will be conducted in Springfield, Illinois. This is a disaster for honest government and a sign that the political establishment is intent on throwing the Iowa Republican Caucus to Mitt Romney."
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) announced Sunday that he has reconsidered his decision from Saturday and will not seek to get several GOP presidential candidates added to the state’s primary ballot.
The Des Moines Register’s latest Iowa Poll shows a surprise three-way match-up in contention to win the Iowa Republican caucuses: Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum.
Early results. I am seeing networks reporting the same numbers.
