Does this mean Romney wins Iowa?

Again, from Politico's Mike Allen, citing a column by Republican writer Michael Gerson, that outlines how maybe an extreme on the social conservative issues might not win Iowa and a guy like Romney might win Iowa. Then go on to win New Hampshire and South Carolina. Could wrap up the Republican primary after that--or at least tough to stop.

"Michael Gerson column from Des Moines, "Iowa begins to take stock of GOP field" - "Iowa activists speak of another possible route to victory. In addition to the traditional base of caucus participants - 120,000 during the last cycle - there are about 100,000 more Iowans who vote in Republican primaries. Party officials describe these as Chamber of Commerce conservatives - bankers, insurance executives and the like. They might be attracted to a strong leader, even one with questionable social conservative credentials." http://wapo.st/fBU7JU "
