Rick Santorum and surprise surprise welcome -- Wildly in the right well I was gonna win.

The cycles.

And items -- in the caucuses well.

We -- a very good.

We don't feel like we've got.

There are a lot a lot of momentum right now and you know we're we're out we're very well organized you got well over a thousand.

Caucus captaincy going to be out of the at the caucuses and because you know.

Him being there on caucus night and having folks out there speaking for you campaign Gloria that could be the difference in not moving us up a spotter.

There's been a tremendous lot of speculation about where evangelical Christian conservatives would go in this race.

It seems like in the last few days in part because of -- -- a -- but others as well.

That there's been something of -- coalescing around him.

First -- all.

How difficult it has -- has it been for you.

To be patient through this process.

You know.

I I can tell you that I think but it -- wife and kids listed all my virtues faces would not be anywhere near the top.

But you know what I just felt like guys you know we were out here doing what we felt that the message that we don't need to be introduced it to the into the debate and we've been a strong full spectrum conservative talking about the important roles of in the economy -- but also an important role of faith and family in the economy and talking about having a strong national security roster we've been stronger on that.

Than anybody else in this race and I think that's resonating here and I and I believe it will resonate across the country.

And yet notwithstanding the full spectrum conservative aspect of your candidacy.

It is social conservatives who make up such a large block of the caucus well.

Can it puts you over the top and actually be the come from behind.

Winner of the -- you know a week ago or in last place tomorrow itself.

Right now we're -- -- people who think you know Mike finished third.

Hot out -- -- -- -- that document in a heartbeat last week so we're we're continue to work guarded.

I think you know we feel that there is momentum here and it's it's not stopping its building and you know we will cautiously optimistic about how things go it would.

Sound that is all your message is beginning to resonate in the final hours here in in Iowa but it takes more than just message.

It also takes organization.

I think -- about Iowa Robinson good luck so the least I can do is return the favor privacy -- Do you have the money to compete beyond Iowa New Hampshire we out of this country -- in the campaign yesterday having that's -- racing they already.

It's -- And now here we -- holiday period which is not necessarily the best time to be raising money so we feel good we're gonna be on TV and New Hampshire on Monday.

Will be -- New Hampshire you know on Wednesday morning and we got a full throttle going there and I think we can surprise people there to.

What would it mean -- the future of the Republican Party if Mitt Romney as its nominee.

Look I support any of -- any of the folks up there in the dies I I think it's important that.

We have a strong conservative -- on apologetic -- -- record to back up that conservatism.

That presents clear contrast with Barack Obama and I think I do that better than anybody else and I'm hopeful that they.

Folks in Iowa New Hampshire and subsequently South Carolina agree with us what you -- the same thing about Ron Paul could you support him as the Republican party's nominee I can't -- not have a lot of heartburn.

About national security and it would it would cause me great concern.

But President Obama in -- Dexter but the I think equally as bad on national security security reason he's not as bad as well.

It's because he's got a run for reelection that's alliance I have very little faith that Obama would be any yet any worse than Ron Paul.

Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum.

And the Iowa cyclones ripping across Hawkeyes stay that don't know -- -- Serendipity.

-- -- work it out well thank senator.
