There were also caucuses in Hawaii and American Samoa. The Santorum camp, though, has signaled that it is aware it may have to settle for blocking Mr. Romney from getting to 1,144 delegates. If Mr. Romney falls short, Team Santorum argues that many of the uncommitted delegates will swing toward their man at the convention. But folks on the ground say Mr. Santorum isn't doing the kind of legwork required to make that long-shot strategy work. In Iowa, where he narrowly won the caucuses, locals say they haven't heard from the Santorum campaign lately. "It's like an apparition," said Kevin McLaughlin , of the Polk County, Iowa, GOP . "He was here and now he is gone. I mean, there are people who are still here and support him, but I don't get anything like the organized depth I see out of the Ron Paul people." Time is the great equalizer. We all get the same amount of it each day and we can't buy, sell or borrow more. Where we differ from each other is in how we spend it, and as days turn into years we realize -- it's about time.
