Tom Fitzgerald tweets the Iowa Caucus

Surging Rick Santorum addressed an overflow crowd in a Pizza Ranch in Boone, IA with an old-school bullhorn last night. He has the momentum - will he unite evangelical voters? Can Mitt Romney take advantage of a fractured field of conservatives to win? How about Ron Paul? Inquirer political reporter Tom Fitzgerald is on the ground and tweeting the caucus action.

    Santorum will win, eliminating Bachmann and maybe Perry.

    Iowa should not have this much say in who the next President is. Even though they will probably pick who I would, the system STINKS!!

    Ron Paul will win, hands down. The people of Iowa and the rest of our country have awaken to the reality that our government is too big, corrupt, and is enslaving us in a fiscal way..

    "The people of Iowa and the rest of our country have awaken to the reality that our government is too big, corrupt, and is enslaving us in a fiscal way.."

    Gee, where were they 2000-2006 when a surplus became a deficit and spending was out of control? Too little too late for the hypocrites.
