MANCHESTER, N.H. – A Rick Santorum event for volunteers and known supporters at a bar and grill got out of hand quickly Monday night in Manchester.

The meet and greet at Jillian’s Billiards Club had not been advertised to the public or press, but word had clearly gotten out. After the event reached the building’s maximum capacity of 450 people, the campaign had to ask many uninvited attendees to leave to make way for local supporters.
