The Wrap-Up: January 4, 2012

Romney managed to win the Iowa Caucuses by a mere 8 votes more than #2 Santorum. Ron Paul was in third place, and Huntsman was in last place.

Rick Santorum further guts the idea of small-government conservatism thinking states have the right to bar birth-control.

In lighter Santorum news, given his Google problem, this "endorsement" is just really unfortunate...and hilarious.

God has told Pat Robertson who the next President will be. He also told us that we should beware false prophets.

Senator John Thune

A fact check on the jobs numbers Mitt Romney has used for himself (and against President Obama) doesn't look to kindly on Romney.

Newt Gingrich, in a CBS interview, pretty much called Romney a liar. Personally, I have three words for Newt: pot, kettle, and black.

Senator John Thune (R-SD) is under the impression that Mitt Romney is not a part of the 1%. I'm sure it's just an honest mistake. It's not like he's biased and supporting Romney...right?

It's amazing how given all of the anti-gay things Michele Bachmann has said and continues to say, it's only when the media asks her face-to-face that she shies away from these issues and calls it a "gotcha" question. Since when is confronting someone about their record bizarre?

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)

While House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is staunchly against marriage equality, the same can't be said for his wife. This seems like a running trend for wives of GOP husbands (like Cindy McCain and Laura Bush).

Speaking of Eric Cantor, he and his spokesman are in deep need of a history lesson when it comes to Ronald Reagan and taxes.

Rick Santorum earlier said that the way out of poverty is marriage. If so, New York is on the right path...thanks to marriage equality.

And lastly, here is a photo that I'm sure Papa McCain is none too fond of.
