I agree it will be Romney. No way will it be a Romney-Gingrich ticket.

Have you seen some of "noise" going back and forth (well, predominately from Gingrich, since he's playing catch up.)? Maybe Romney-Christie, but no way do I think there will be a Romney-Gingrich ticket.

LOL. Now that I think about it, Romney-Gingrich would fail miserably.

And I want to clarify my OP to avoid confusion, Romney and Gingrich are considered the front runners but Ron Paul and Rick Santorum also remain. The Iowa vote counts have Santorum ahead.

There is also a "scandal" with the Iowa vote miscounts that a pollster was on CNN discussing. The recount is why Santorum was found to be the "winner."

Haha, it's like "can't they both lose?" In the case of Romney and Gingrich though, they can. It's called voting for Obama.

Yeah, same as rooting for the Giants, but unfortunately one of them has to get to the Super Bowl first. I don't even want them to get there. (Pats-Ravens OR Mitt-Newt)

Hey now...while I can respect not being a fan of the Patriots (though I'll never understand it ) I thoroughly object to be compared to Romney or Gingrich, lol.

I doubt you'll hear much of the "scandal" part of this, because in every way except rhetoric, it doesn't matter - both will wind up with the same number of delegates from the caucus, regardless of the true "winner." The actual vote is of minimal importance.

Right - it's news-cycle fodder, but since the outcome is (basically) irrelevant, it seems like it won't reach long-form or "investigative" report status.
