All the prime ad time for both NH and SC is already bought up, Santorum can't fight back, but Perry and Gingrich have ad time bought. Neither of them like Romney.
All that money didn’t profit Romney in Iowa all that much. If Gingrich and Perry dropped out, that would leave a lot of folks looking for a new home.
If Gingrich and Perry’s inclusion in Iowa were that signification (for Santorum), why didn’t they do better?
I get your point about having funds to run negative adds about Romney, but I’m not sure if that was Romney’s problem, or Santorum meeting as many Iowans as he could, was.
“f Gingrich and Perry were to drop out, Romney’s pac’s would gut Santorum like a fish within a week.”
This is what his greatest weakness is that few want to see because they are too busy gushing over last night.
Santorum spent all of his time (months) in Iowa, kissing their ass and essentially making enough people his first cousin in order to lose by a handful to a guy who didnt even break a sweat with all of his RINO cash.
From the point after NH, where the polls aren’t even putting him in contention, you have to have a media game. Ads and more ads.
There will be no time for county fairs and diner meetings for weeks on end. Santorum never had that really in Iowa.
