(Le Mars) — Republican Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum visited the Plymouth County Fair early Friday evening. Santorum, a former Senator from Pennsylvania, won the Iowa caucus four years ago. Santorum says since Iowa has dropped the straw poll, things have changed from four years ago when he was seeking the position of president, and he has to work even harder this time to win the support of Iowans.

Santorum, a staunch pro-lifer, says the recent undercover video showing officials of Planned Parenthood describing how they sell organs from aborted fetuses, has made him sick.

This time around, Santorum is trailing in the polls, and may not be included in the initial Republican debate. The republican candidate says he is not worried about the polls, but rather would like to spend time visiting with Iowans on a personal basis.

During the last election, Santorum was able to win the support of Iowans by going door-to-door and establishing a personal relationship with the voters. He says that is still his philosophy in order to again win Iowa.
