I want Dave to give 2 points to those who picked either Santorum or Romney as the winner in IA, because you cannot say with these numbers who won if there are 8 precincts still missing !!!

Hopefully this victory will give Santorum the bump he needs to overtake Romney in New Hampshire.

Maybe Santorum would have gotten 2% more in NH, 3% at best. That's all.

What is this "point" game you all keep talking about?

I've been wanting to ask that for a while...

It has to do with the primary predictions we make:

https://uselectionatlas.org/PRED/PRESIDENT/2012R/pred.php?action=indpred&id=1150

For every contest (out of the 52), you'll get 1 point for the winner and 1 point for the percentage or confidence of the win (tossup, lean, strong).

If someone picked Romney in Iowa (like I did by accident), Dave should make it so that both those who picked Romney and Santorum should get the points, because the vote count in Iowa was apparently flawed.
