WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – Walk into this West Des Moines hotel, and you’ll easily encounter volunteers in Rick Perry fleeces or staffers wearing official Rick Perry badges.
The Perry campaign has set up shop here just days before the Iowa caucuses while nearly two thousand volunteers fan out across the state to promote the Texas governor with an expansive ground game as the campaign hopes he’ll earn a top three spot in the caucuses Tuesday.
A source close to the Perry campaign confirmed to ABC News they have signed up 1500 precinct leaders across Iowa.
At each of the stops along his bus tour through Iowa over the past two weeks, the campaign set up a table asking people to sign up to become precinct leaders. During the first leg of the bus tour, they averaged about 7 people signing up at each event, the source claimed, but during the second leg of the tour this past week, the precinct leader sign-ups jumped to more than 10 at each stop.

I enjoyed having Governor Perry in the race. He’s great on creating jobs, energy importance, and something else.
I hope he’s in the top 3 too, I’d like to see him go on.
Here’s hoping he finishes in the top 3, and I’ll also be praying that he ends up at the top.
Each would be a credit to Our White House!
I expect him to be in the top 3 or better.
What a beautiful couple! It will be so nice to have such a gracious First Lady.
I know he started running again in the last couple of weeks; so must be getting stronger.
Perry is a tireless and tenacious campaigner. He has gone straight to ground and is face to face with people. This campaign is his kind of campaign. He can tear Obama to pieces. Cut him up 12 ways from Sunday. Do not count Perry out.
Not one candidate in Iowa has any volunteers from their states working for their them like Perry has. Hundreds from Texas and 30 other states volunteering for Perry. One on his strike force says ‘a little secret: the polls are wrong.’
Agree or better.
What? He did outstanding in the last 3 or 4 debates, in fact, he was the winner in the last debate even though FNC avoided asking him any questions. The very few questions he got his answers won him that debate.
I expect him to be in the top 3 or better.
What’s ‘or better’ than the top three which would be 1st, 2nd or 3rd?
OK......
My house has been visited twice in the past week or so by the Ron Paul folks. Never a visit from Perry. Just my experience...I am not a huge Perry fan, but I will probably caucus for him on Tuesday...not thrilled about it...
I can’t agree.
He hasn’t put a foot wrong since the first debate.
And what a good looking first couple we would have (for a change).
I really hope Rick Perry wins the Iowa thing. Lord knows, he’s tried.
It is interesting that the Iowa caucuses (Hawkeye Cauci) do seem predictive for Democrats but not for Republicans.
