Mitt Romney barely wins Republican caucus in Iowa by 8 votes

Wednesday, January 4, 2012  

Republican voters in Iowa held their caucuses on Tuesday, with former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney narrowly winning by 8 votes.

Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum came in a close second. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas finished third.

None of the candidates have much of an Indian record. In Massachusetts, Romney once offered to block a tribal casino as long as tribes in neighboring Connecticut shared their gaming revenues, according to Governing Magazine.

Neither Santorum nor Paul sponsored any major Indian bills during their time on Capitol Hill.
