Below the fold? on who spent time in the state. and while these two men are declared in a virtual tie right here, a little bit more positive for santorum on the cover of this paper. one other thing i want to point out that i think we need to talk about, while this is obviously the amazing story of the night, we were all really spellbound by it, together mitt romney and rick santorum got 50% of the vote. that means 50% of iowa caucusgoers voted for someone else. so you have to remember, theres go...

Get above 25%? >> well, what good is it getting 39% in august or september when now youre at 11%? i think that if you look at governor romneys support, hes had a very strong resilient number all the way through this entire campaign. that was the plan, which is to make sure were competing very hard so that when you get to these contests, where were here in january, going to iowa and new hampshire, this is where you get those voters, who have yet to be persuaded, undecided to come into your fold a...
