Perry, Iowa
Bill Yewell had no idea he was so powerful. Yewell, a Rick Santorum supporter from Odgen, Iowa, conducted his own, personal phone bank on behalf of the candidate.
“I called 26 people last night,” he told me. “I just told them that Rick was going to be down here and that he was going to be in Boone at 2 o’clock, and that if they hadn’t made up their minds yet this was a good opportunity to come down and to hear what he has to say. And the funny part was about 10 of the people I talked to said they had been lookin’ at Santorum and liked what he had to say but they hadn’t made up their minds. I couldn’t believe what they told me then.” He paused, looked at my audio recorder, and raised his eyebrows as if to say, wait until you get a load of this.
