appealing. that definitely divided the vote. you know, it is a little bit of a mystery. it is definitely a little bit of a mystery why she didn t do as well as she did. talked to some republicans. they say that her campaign internally was a bit of a mess and that that was a big problem for her. that she never really got the organization here on the ground that she needed in order to do well. look, i mean, many candidates overcome that with their message and with their person namt. for her, she just didn t. do we know who she s endorsing and how important is that? we don t know. that is going to be one of the questions that i am sure a lot of other reporters are going to ask her, whether she will endorse. if she is 2technically suspendig her campaign? generally as you know in covering candidates who drop out, they don t do it right away. i remember mitt romney back in 2008, he dropped out of the race in a pretty abrupt way. he waited a little while before
then she has tumbled, tumbled in a pretty intense way in the polls. it s really unclear why because she has at least at the beginning she had done pretty well in debates. she had been here campaigning very hard. she, like rick santorum at the end of this campaign, was around the state. she did all 99 counties. guess what, she was even born here. she was born in water loo, iowa. she is a native daughter of the state. she did not do very well. very disappointing. at the end of the day, suzanne, you know this. you ve covered many campaigns. you need money to go on. if you re not doing well, the money dries up and that is a critical problem for her. it s a mystery. she actually won that straw poll back over the summer here. do we have any sense of why her campaign just didn t gain the traction that was necessary? you know, she was competing with other candidates here who were pretty strong when it came to being socially conservative, which is really where she was appealing. t
