At first, one was the loneliest number for Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Monday.
Just one Iowan showed up at 2 p.m. campaign stop Monday at a restaurant in the unincorporated community of Hamlin, population 300, according to a report from The Des Moines Register Peggy Toft, an insurance agent who chairs the countys Republican Party.
Eventually, there were four Iowans gathered at Santorums table (not counting photographers and campaign aides), where the 2016 hopeful lunched on a breaded tenderloin with a side of onion rings.
Santorum told the Register that the low turnout was not surprising, but that it is all a part of the plan.
