Politico Says: Romney Is Winning Iowa, According To Polls We Won't Name, List, or Give the Numbers For

by Brian Doherty


A bizarre and confusing very long four-screen epic of Romney kremlinology spin and counterspin that sets my counter-counter-counter-agent head spinning: are they trying to set up Romney for a fall by declaring him the likely winner? Are they trying to scare off voters for the other possible winners? Are they just desperate to file counternarrative copy in that hoary ol' 24-7 news cycle?

All I know from this piece is various people close to Romney think he will win, won't win, will be second, is sure he's doing fine, doesn't want anyone to know how fine or poorly he's doing, is working hard in Iowa, isn't really campaigning there much at all, or who the hell knows.

"Striking distance" translates to "we're desperate."

Local radio news update this morning was "three way tie in Iowa within 1 percentage for Romney, Paul, and Gingrinch."

Wtf? No current poll has Gingrinch anywhere near the top, even with margin of error.
