Herman Cain's former Iowa state director, Tina Goff, has signed on to Rick Santorum's presidential campaign.
Goff is one of three Iowa staffers that resigned from the Cain campaign in June, citing Cain's unwillingness to make a serious effort in the first-caucus state ahead of the Ames Straw Poll.
"Senator Santorum has shown a tremendous commitment to Iowa and the principles our nation was founded upon. I have worked for several presidential campaigns, but none have the organization, passion, and focus of the Santorum campaign," Goff said in a statement. "This is a refreshing reminder of what voters require of candidates for the highest office in the land, and I am honored to join the Santorum team!"
Goff, who will manage operations in central Iowa for the Santorum campaign, worked on Fred Thompson's 2008 presidential campaign and Terry Branstad's 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
Cain will make his first trip to Iowa since the straw poll this weekend, to attend the Iowa Faith and Freedom Forum in Des Moines.
What is funny is that every time someone leaves, Cain goes up in the subsequent set of polls. It is literally like a balloon shedding useless weight. Thanks for the Cain Train update!
Thank you for the invitation.
Maybe we’ll pass each other and can wave.
Only if I am coming down for a snack break...
Sorry... I meant my reply for CW, not you! By the way, I have always thought that Santorum was running for VP. Which would be fine by me!
Wallace simply reached a new low in his attack on Santorum, speciously equating "gay rights" with the negro civil rights movement vs. racial segregation and discrimination of the '60s. Wallace was the one who imploded and reminded us what a dim bulb liberal he is. Santorum was stunned by the stupidity and gave a good answer.
Wallace revealed a lot by going easy on Cain the week before and trying to pit-bull Rick the following week.
That would truly be one heck of a ticket.
