Forgive me for the headline. It practically wrote itself.
The presidential campaign of Rick "The Frothy" Santorum, which is struggling to gain traction among primary voters, is bringing out their secret weapon for the upcoming Ames Straw Poll -- Peach Jam
Rick Santorum may not have raised a lot of money or attracted much support in the polls, but his campaign for the presidency will be trying a new tack for votes at the Ames Iowa Straw Poll: Some delicious homemade peach jam.
The Des Moines Register reports that Santorum told an Iowa audience on Tuesday that his family has fruit trees back home, and he and his children harvested peaches, peeled them, and made them into jelly. And now, they will be bringing 40 jars to Iowa.
"We are bringing them to the Straw Poll and we are going to give everybody a sample," said Santorum, dubbing the product "Pennsylvania Presidential Peach Preserves."
He really can't catch a break can he?
