It shouldn’t be a big deal — we all know that Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum basically tied in Iowa.

But now we know that technically, Santorum won.

Why is this meaningful? Because it changes the narrative.

Before, Romney was the guy who’d won both Iowa and New Hampshire, and was inevitable in South Carolina.

Now, he’s the guy who only won in the state next to his home state (and one dominated by Boston media), and looks like he’s being overtaken by Gingrich in South Carolina.

Makes him look like a whole other guy, doesn’t it?
