Isn't he one of those people who sneer at educated people like the're somehow lesser people?

all part of the plan

When just one Iowan showed up to Rick Santorum’s 2 p.m. campaign stop at a restaurant here Monday, the winner of the 2012 Iowa caucuses made a quick decision: Might as well order lunch.“I haven’t eaten, actually, all day,” he said to his guest, Peggy Toft, an insurance agent and chair of the county’s Republican Party.For Santorum, who’s making a second go at the Republican nomination for president, the low turnout wasn’t surprising, he said, but all part of the plan.
 Later, after posing for a couple of photos and shaking hands, Santorum stood outside the diner and called the event a success.“People don’t understand. One guy in there said, ‘I’ll speak for you at the caucus,'” Santorum said.

“That’s maybe eight votes that you wouldn’t otherwise get. Eight votes can make a big difference, as I know.”

I guess to Ricky one person is the equivlaent to a crowd.
