Subscribe to RSSAMES, Iowa -- There was a huge turnout for Santorum at his tent this morning, 25-plus buses brought in voters, according to staff. His tent had a very long line. The only line that was longer was Bachmann's. Santorum's campaign handed out free pork burgers and samples of "presidential peach preserves" from the family's peach trees.
Clearly, the Santorum campaign has worked very hard to get people here. Turnout at various campaign stops had been low.
"This is the little engine that could campaign. They told us we had no chance, all the press does is write about these shiny engines..we didn't wait around, we worked hard... "This is a chance to strike a blow, a heartland campaign."
Santorum received a standing ovation before and after his speech. He got applause while hitting the health-care plan that passed last year and for touting social values like being against abortion and stressing faith.
Santorum retired to a Iowa State University's women's basketball locker room afterward saying he felt good about speech.

Little Ricky's engine has run out of steam!
Any word on whether or not that Santorum jam is flying off the shelves? lol
Better ask Wyatt Cenac.
Looks like Little Ricky is being outshown by BIG RICKY down here in big sky country. Different wolf in the same sheeps clothing though. Both are wrapped as tight as the wing nut on a commode with years to rust into the fixated piece of crap they both are so proud to be.
As for the "Santorum" jam, also packed tight, thay can use it to lube up the bus to get to the next podunk junction stop on their way to no where.
It'll be Perry/ Palin in the boy howdy duel to the finish line. Be careful what you vote for America, it may not end up the way they are touting. The crazier the picks the less likely a win.
Obama will win the squeaker and America then move forward to prosperity and fixing more of the mess he inherited as it will take mor ethan one term to undo W's reign.

Not sure what to think about that one.
But seriously - 25 busloads?
Who were they? The peach pickers?

Hmmm...
I believe Rick Perry's chances of getting elected POTUS are about the same as him becoming the next Grand Vizier of BoogaBoogistan.
Our nation has become fed up with right wing Christian nut jobs who want to run everyone elses life.
Rick Perry is below average, maybe a C- and too many people know that.
