Winning Ugly, but Winning

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

New York Times - By Nate Silver - Jan. 04 (Opinion) - Mitt Romney's narrow victory in Iowa looks ugly on the stat sheet, but it accomplished quite a bit when you consider the broader context. The two most important things that Mr. Romney accomplished are as follows: First, Mr. Romney eliminated Rick Perry from the nomination contest. Of course, Mr. Romney got a lot of help from Mr. Perry himself. Maybe we should use the passive voice — Mr. Perry was eliminated from the nomination contest. The conclusion is the same: the man who once looked like Mr. Romney’s most formidable rival has suspended his campaign. The result was not unexpected based on late-stage polling — in fact, the polling average nailed Mr. Perry’s share of the vote almost to the decimal point.
