During Iowa campaign stop Rick Santorum takes time to talk with his supporters. Both of them.

What if you threw a campaign and nobody came?

Well Rick Santorum is only two people away from finding that out.

Here is more courtesy of WTAE:  

Even when you're the defending champion of the Iowa caucuses, there's no guarantee you'll find big crowds at every stop. 

When Rick Santorum stopped by Sam's Soda and Sandwiches in Carroll, Iowa, on Monday afternoon, he was met with three of his own staffers, two Democratic campaign trackers, a waitress, two diners and one CNN reporter. 

Though it may not have been the reception he hoped for, the former Pennsylvania senator took it in stride, spending about an hour drinking a chocolate milkshake and chatting with the two diners.

The article goes on to remind people that Santorum won the Iowa caucus back in 2012, but clearly this is NOT 2012. 

I'm going to hell for getting a case of the giggles from this aren't I?

Yep, I thought so.

P.S. After I wrote this last night I learned that the report saying that only two people showed up to Santorum's Iowa campaign stop was false.

Four people showed up.

So you know that's better. Right?

    OT: Perhaps Rick should hire BSMP,llc to do some public relations for his campaign.

    Bristol still has her public relations company and the address was changed to Dakota's in Greensburg, KY and registered in April. Was Bristol planning to "manage" Mater's speaking career? There was the speculation about the pre-nup where she was to receive 50-65% of his fees. Just who does she think she is Sharon Osborne or Kris Jenner?

    But here is a thought. Is Sarah working for Bristol? Do they have deals with the Duggers and some of the others that they defend on the blog, facebook, the tweets, and just getting it out there in the public sphere. Or, am I giving them too much credit that someone would actually pay them for public relations?

      I think to some degree that is what's happening. Since we know neither Sarah nor Bristol have an original thought in those big fat heads, I'm guessing they're paid by the RNC (either directly or indirectly) to get word out to their bots. Remember, "what's in it for us" don't do ANYTHING without compensation. It's all a scam designed to keep the ill informed fired up and hyper-partisan. This is why Palin still gets the occasional spot on Fox.

    Sarah Palin and Bristol Palin are only interested in Pubic Relations.

      There isn't a hell. It's another cooked up lie to force morality on the weak minded.

      The concept of hell does not force morality. Atheists have higher morals than any religious person I have seen, weak minded or not.

    Pie Spy, llc is still an entity. Artists, writers, and performers.

    Faking a pregnancy or two is quite a public relations grand slam.

    Getting the Repubs to think Sarah was qualified for the VP nod. Priceless.

    My Old Kentucky Home marriage and BBQ. Everything from diamonds to donuts.

    I am sure Y'All have more to add to this short list.

      I still believe Mama Griz sat down with the 'stool and mapped out a plan that 'stool got knocked up and the the prizes would be better than winning the Lotto. There is one other thing that bothers the heck out of me and it comes from the ;stool's own book, "She prayed to God Levi wasn't the father of Tripp. Why pray unless she was fucking other guys at the time and a paternity test revealed who the unlucky sperm donor was.

      Levi lost out on that one. I heard the entire hockey team could have been the Daddy. Remember the pregnant photo of her with a hockey puck on her belly? Was that a message "One of you is the "lucky" prize winner" !!

      Time will tell if Tripp is Levi's bio kid. Trig????? There has been so much spin over the years that only the shadow knows. With pay offs and postage the Palins have cast a lot of shade.

      Some night in a bar somewhere in Alaska, a trial daddy will get drunk and shoot off his mouth about his experience with the PayMe family. People will take notice, and the gig will be up. Can't wait.

    Congratulations, you know this isn't 2012. Did your daughter tell you ?

    Why does Bristol keep changing the name on her Instagram ? This is getting fucking annoying.

    Can you investigate?

    Can you dispatch your secret sources?

    Can you dispatch the secret source that didn't know Bristol's wedding was cancelled until her mother told you about it on her Facebook page ?

    Yes, please dispatch THAT secret source.

  8. Gee, he should have hired the Duggars to show up. Then he'd have at least 2 dozen.

    "Rick Santorum's crowd size increases by 50% !" yells the town crier.

    Yea but, Ricky, any way you spin it - that is still only 4 people.
    And in my books, that is 4 too many.

    Whooppee dippy do !! They pay for those votes, so it means nothing except who has more money to spend.

    Bristol and public relations in the same sentence=joke of the day. Was giving America the big middle finger a PR ploy?

    Poor Frothy mix. Couldn't stop chuckling myself, Gryphen, guess I'll see you in hell? lol For some reason, I pictured some slob and one of those three faceted mirrors they have in dressing rooms. But I guess he bussed all these people in just to make the crowd look huge.
    I live in Pennsylvania, when Santorum was the GOP's "pretty boy". The guy had the balls to show up at Equality Forum (then known as "Gay Pride") and passed out little teeny weeny keychains with Caucasian Fetuses as he railed against Gays and made the dog comment. Never clapped so hard as when he got shamed by the attendees. The governor's website got flooded to the point it went down, .
