The results at 7:50 PM CST show that Santorum, Paul and Romney are winning in Iowa.
Via FOX News:
Paul – 24% Santorum – 24% and Romney – 22%
FOX News already predicted that Michele Bachmann will finish last in Iowa tonight.
Former Bachmann staffer Ed Rollins says Bachmann should get out now. “It’s hard to go from the House and be considered a serious candidate.”
Bill Kristol, “The big story is Romney failing to pick up a percentage of the votes this year.”
*** Iowa Caucus 8:10 PM CST:
Paul leads 25% to 24% Romney to 23% Santorum
*** Iowa Caucus 8:20 PM CST:
Ron Paul pulls into the lead.
48% of “Independent” voters are going for Ron Paul.
Donald Trump was right. If Ron Paul wins this will be a tremendous black-eye on Iowa.
UPDATE: Fox News Alert: Gingrich 4th, Perry 5th, Bachmann 6th
Ben Shapiro wrote this and I agree: Palin rips Bachmann but praises Paul, rips Perry but not Romney. She sows the seeds of chaos and we reap the whirlwind.
*** Iowa Caucus 9:15 PM CST:
Ron Paul slips to third.
UPDATE: FOX News projects that Ron Paul will finish 3rd in Iowa.
