there s a limit to how much run you can raise. you don t see any campaign saying we raised enough money, let s stop. maybe more would be raised under a popular vote. it would have to be spread out through the whole country. right now, it s funneled into these eight or nine states. now, what there s no limit on is volunteerism. grass roots politics is what is disadvantaged by this system. you live in new york, there s no point in having neighbors over and a coffee clutch. oh, yeah, maybe you can go to ohio and do it. it kills politics. it kills grass roots politics. i make the opposite point. if you have a national popular vote for the presidency, you are going to see a lot more money. you are going to have to invest more in new york, california and texas and places like that. people will pay. it keeps getting more
the world changed with within days. so i will tell you, that it is not the polls right now. it is the feeling on the ground. and hour town hall meetings are packed with people. there is energy. we are signing folks up with every event that we do. and we have been at it for six months now. i feel very good about the work we have done here the old-fashioned way. proving that grass roots politics is alive and well. you can t twitter or face back your way to success and prosperity. you still have to grind it out at the grass roots level. and if you don t succeed in new hampshire, with your one-state approach, is that it for jon huntsman for president? not an option. we don t even think about not exceeding market expectations. all you have to do is to better than what you and others will predict for our likely performance level. whatever the market expectation is, we have to exceed. wake up on the morning of the 11th and find that we did better than what marketplace had predicted we wou

you can t deny, as rick santorum comes out of this vote, those last two days of polling last week proved to be true. he was getting incredible momentum. and both romney and santorum had this to say before the final numbers even came in. thank you, iowa, for the great send-off you re giving to us and to the others in this campaign. look, this is this is a campaign night where america wins. we re going to change the white house and get america back on track. you know that new hampshire s all about grass-roots politics, and we feel very good that we re going to climb that ladder just like we did here. so that was romney once he was declared the winner and santorum actually talking to wolf blitzer after he found out that he came in number two. so we were sitting here waiting and waiting and waiting, as all of the precincts and the counties were reporting. and christine romans has a breakdown county by county of how people voted. absolutely. let s look at iowa and the john king ma
