During an afternoon campaign stop in Hamlin, Iowa, on Monday, just four supporters showed up to eat lunch with Republican 2016 presidential candidate Rick Santorum.

Santorum and his campaign aides weren't discouraged by the turnout, though. "It's not glamorous, and you're not out there raising money, but you're doing what the money is ultimately supposed to do — getting votes," Santorum told The Des Moines Register. "This is a lot more fun than being on the phone raising money."
