On Monday afternoon, Peggy Toft, an insurance agent and county GOP chairwoman in Hamlin, Iowa, got to meet one-on-one with presidential candidate Rick Santorum.
She wasn't the winner of some campaign contest to meet the Republican former senator, who won the state's caucuses in 2012. Instead, she was just the only person who showed up (at first) to Santorum's weekday appearance in the township of less than 300, according to the Des Moines Register.
