Romney, Paul and Santorum close in Iowa

Published by James O'Toole on .

The early numbers from the caucuses show the top three bunched within a point of one another. With 15 percent of the vote tabulated, Ron Paul had 24 percent; Mitt Romney, 23 percent and Rick Santorum, 22.9 percent.
And here's some snippets from the early entrance polls sponsored by the networks and the Associated Press:
-- Santorum just barely edges Romney among voters who decided today or in the last few days.
-- Ron Paul crushes among young voters
-- Paul wins every income group except those who make more than $100,000.
-- Santorum is way ahead among those who call themselves "very conservative;'' Romney leads among those the "somewhat conservative,''
and Paul among moderates and liberals.
