Rick spent .79 cents a vote! He will in all probability win NH with Newts help! Bachmann getting out helps either Rick or Newt! I like Rick. He is ok for me but I would rather see Newt cause Newt will slash and burn his way to the White House unlike Rick Santorum, Romney or Perry!
I keep seeing the low cost metric for Rick but I think one could argue it a bit differently. Santorum was forced to focus a super majority of his time on Iowa and time = $$ in some regards. Romney only put in a few weeks work and otherwise it was just $$ and related PAC $$. Not saying Santorum did badly - just that the metric is not valid alone and doesn’t account for the fact that Santorum was pinned down and not able to progress as well in NH, SC, and FL as well (let alone MO, NV, CO, MI, ...)
