GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s aides have just emailed out a schedule for the Santorum family’s travels through Iowa in advance of next month’s Straw Poll. The campaign told the national press yesterday. Staying in Iowa hotels for a couple of weeks is sort of a “quarter Dodd” — a reference to 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Christopher Dodd’s decision to actually move into a rented home in Des Moines in 2007, enroll his child in an Iowa elementary school and make Iowa his base of operations. Didn’t quite work out as Dodd had planned.
According to Santorum”s campaign news release this morning, the family plans to visit “over 50 Iowa cities” in the next three weeks.
