Santorum failed to field any delegates in Tennessee, which means that even if he wins the state, he needs to GOP-E to choose to award him delegates LATER, if they so choose. They will be under absolutely no obligation to do so.
On the other hand, Newt fielded delegates, and a win of the state guarantees Newt will walk away with the majority of delegates.
Santorum's win of the so-called Trifecta a couple weeks back meant absolutely NOTHING. Zero.
Those states awarded a perfect ZERO committed delegates.
Wow, I did not know that. Thanks for that update. I saw (online) the Chris Wallace interview from yesterday, where he asked him about that (seems like I heard both states, now that you mention it), and his excuse was “I was polling at 2%, and didn’t have the organization,” or some such. To me, it looked really, really bad to put it that way. I think a smarter move would be to say “At the early stage, the campaign didn’t have the funds.” But hey, I guess pointing out your unpopularity might have seemed good at the time.
