Romney wins Iowa caucus by 8 votes

- This caucus, if anything, reflects how every freaking vote counts. No matter if you're Republican, Democratic, an independent voter, or a voter affiliated with one of the minority political parties out there, it still shows that exercising your right to vote is incredibly important. Things could drastically change if more people had participated. In conclusion, the Iowa Republican caucus shows how every vote counts. Do your right as a citizen and go out to vote in your local, city, state, and federal elections. For those that say "f*** elections, why does it matter, my vote won't have an impact on anything", the 2012 Iowa Republican caucus is proof that every vote counts.

One thing is clear after last night's Iowa Republican caucuses: The goody-two-shoes platitude that "every vote counts" is bunk even in an election as close as this one. If you're an Iowan and you failed to vote, it just means that Mitt Romney outpolled Rick Santorum by eight votes rather than seven or nine--and if you preferred someone else, your failure to show up didn't even affect the margin of victory.
