Remember how the national press kept fawning over Mitt Romney's historic sweep of both Iowa and New Hampshire, making him the first Republican to win both those two contests ever? Oops...

Rick Santorum’s campaign claimed a belated victory in the Iowa caucuses on Thursday morning after certified results from the contest showed him leading Mitt Romney by 34 votes, a reversal from the eight-vote edge for Mr. Romney on caucus night.

Of course he did. But since the only thing really up for grabs in the Iowa caucuses was the immediate perception of victory, Romney remains the real winner.
