I admit that I didn’t stay up to see Romney eke out the narrowest victory in caucus history. This has to be one of the more anticlimactic results in recent political history. After keeping the state at arm’s length for much of the cycle, the default front-runner has prevailed narrowly over a candidate who spent almost all of his time in Iowa. It’s worth adding here that Pawlenty’s presence in the race would have simply divided the field more and given Romney a larger margin of victory. Barring a very unlikely push to rally all anti-Romney voters behind Ron Paul, there doesn’t seem to be anything that is going to stop Romney from eking out one victory after another all the way to early March and then on to the nomination. It isn’t going to be Santorum, and Gingrich and Perry are also in no position to do anything. Prepare yourselves for the dreadful inevitability of Romney.
