all right. we can make a projection, a projection of sort, not necessarily the kind of projection we normally make, but cnn now projects who will come in third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh. we can't project who comes in first or second, because you saw how close it is between santorum and romney. but we do project here at cnn that ron paul will come in third, newt gingrich will come in fourth, rick perry will come in fifth, michele bachmann will come in sixth, and jon huntsman in iowa will come in seventh. we can't project who wins or who comes in second, because it is about as close as possible with 88% of the precincts reporting. anderson cooper is standing by. anderson, this is a tight race. >> it certainly is. we didn't think we would go this long. you say, either way, it's not a bad night for romney, ari? >> i think you have to give mitt romney credit. mitt romney did not run hard in iowa, didn't play in the straw poll. he came in late when he saw the opening.
