Santorum, not Romney actually won Iowa.

As it turns out, Rick Santorum won the Iowa Caucus by a  total of 34 votes. This is a bit shocking for on the 4th, Romney emerged as the winner of the caucus with a lead of 8 votes. This, leads me to question in what ways did this really impact Santorum campaign. Being that he didn't win NH, could it have been that winning Iowa would have been a major factor in his campaign. I am pushed to ask whether, that would've allowed for Ron Paul to win NH instead of Romney.
