I sent $100 and got no vest.
Same here, but I remain optimistic. (It was four weeks before Wal-Mart informed me that they had insufficient stock to send me the pair of blue jeans that I ordered.) I’m hoping that not getting a vest yet means that so many people donated that they temporarily ran out of vests.
Now that I think about it, with Rick pulling in over a million dollars a day, that could be as many as 10,000 Rick Santorum sweater vests a day to produce. Yep. I figure that there’s a backlog.
I’m not a wealthy man, but I have contributed numerous times to the Santorum campaign (typically far less than $100). I’m hoping that the big money people continue stepping to the plate in his behalf, as they have been recently.
I take some satisfaction in the modest contributions to the Santorum campaign that I made last summer and fall, when Rick was polling at less than 1% and driving around Iowa in a borrowed pickup truck. There were times that, although meager, my contributions perhaps represented one out of every $500 that he was receiving at that time. I’m thinking that my money may have helped send him to at least one or two extra town hall meetings in Iowa. With the tiny margin of victory that he achieved in Iowa, I like to think that my early contributions may have made the difference. (Don’t bust my bubble. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.)
