So why does Iowa not matter and South Carolina does? I don’t see it.
I’m not going to go and say that Newt didn’t earn his win in South Carolina. He did.
Same with Santorum in Iowa. Is this too much to ask folks?
Santorum won Iowa, but Iowa was NOT a primary, it was a Caucus, so apples and oranges there. Secondly, and I have challenged every Santorum supporter here and elsewhere to answer this, and have not been able to get one... What did Santorum do to earn your support?
Did he stand out in any way? Did he personally do anything? No one can cite me anything he did during the campaign, other than not being Romney or Newt, that moved them to support him. He basically got the votes by being last man standing... that’s not going to win you a national campaign.
I congratulate Santorum for winning Iowa, but Iowa does not a national campaign make. In fact rarely does Iowa actually pick the ending nominee.
