Republican presidential candidate Jim Gilmore didn't get the momentum he was likely hoping for in Monday night's Iowa caucuses. The former Virginia governor only got 12 votes, which wasn't even enough to push him past 0.0 percent in the results. That makes Gilmore the only candidate who didn't at least get 1.0 percent in Iowa and the sole contender who didn't outperform the "other" category, which got 119 votes or 0.1 percent.
Iowa winner Ted Cruz, in comparison, snagged 51,649 votes — more than 4,300 times the number of votes Gilmore got.
