Rick Santorum Defends His New Hampshire Organization On Fox and Friends

On Tuesday’s Fox and Friends, surging Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum talked about his confidence going into today’s Iowa caucuses. “When it came down to crunch time, the last two weeks when they started to study all the candidates and compare the records, they decided to start moving in our direction and I’m very confident we’re going to finish well today. I don’t know what, but I feel very confident that we’re not going to be finishing last as most had predicted.”

Fox and Friends co-host Steve Doocy said it seemed like Santorum was running for governor of Iowa and questioned whether he had the organization necessary to win in the next state’s election contest.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa — that’s not true! We have a great organization in New Hampshire!” the former Pennsylvania Senator exclaimed.

“Big organization or little organization?” Doocy pressed.

“Oh, it’s a good size — I mean, it’s as big an organization as we had here in Iowa, and New Hampshire is a much smaller state and we’ve had — we’ve had an office there for four or five months and it’s been — we’ve got tons of phones! People have been making calls for weeks and weeks!”
