Rick Santorum 4th

[DRey]

Perry beat Romney by 200 in write-ins.

Pawlenty and Santorum were something of s surprise (pleasant surprise in the latter case). The IA Straw Poll imo is a winnower, but really never establishes the ultimate winner.

Does anyone know the last winner of either the IA Straw Poll or IA caucuses who won the party nomination and went on to the White House? .
