inside the omni shoreham , only santorum and paul had visible support .

just as in florida , cain 's likeability and perry 's stance on immigration choked off his possible supporters ' enthusiasm .
in 2011 , the only campaigns with real victory strategys were ron paul 's and rick santorum 's .
there was no real effort on behalf of perry , who might as well have been grown in a lab to appeal to an audience like this .
