Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney hugs his wife, Ann, in Des Moines, Iowa.

We've been helping our friends at It's All Politics on the big story of the morning, which, as you've no doubt heard, is that after a nail-biter of a night, Mitt Romney took the Iowa primary by eight votes. Rick Santorum pulled a surprising turn around to end up second.

Here's some of the territory we've covered on IAP:

-- " Iowa Offers Little Clarity For GOP Field"

-- " Can Santorum Translate His Iowa Triumph Into N.H. Success?"

-- " 'Iowa And Beyond': Listen To A Special NPR Podcast"

-- " Poll: Iowa Gives Santorum Small Boost In N.H."

-- " McCain Expected To Endorse Mitt Romney"
