Although just eight votes shy of an outright victory in the Iowa Caucuses, Rick Santorum was clearly Tuesday night\u2019s big winner. But now he has to leave the safety of a state filled with like-minded, evangelical voters for New Hampshire where some church congregations are so small they could meet in a phone booth.<\/p>\n
Just as small is Santorum\u2019s New Hampshire staff and headquarters and it probably won\u2019t get much larger before Election Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know we can build on yesterday\u2019s big win in Iowa,\u201d said Bill Cahill, who heads up Santorum\u2019s New Hampshire campaign. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to make it happen with the limited resources we have because we can\u2019t afford to hire tons of staff. We believe Rick \u2018s positions on taxes and national security will appeal to a majority of New Hampshire Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needless to say, there is a lot of distance between the two.<\/p>\n
