Perry was set to begin his tour in Council Bluffs several hours later. He planned just four stops during his day. Gingrich was ready to return to the opposite side of the state, with three stops in Dubuque. Paul was set to return Wednesday for a late push ahead of the New Year's holiday. Many of those expected to participate in the caucuses remain undecided, and most of the contenders have seen their fortunes rise quickly and then deflate. Romney and Santorum have remained relatively steady: Romney solidly near the top and Santorum consistently struggling to build support. Yet Santorum alone has achieved the accomplishment of visiting all 99 counties. With more than 350 campaign events behind him this year, he is hoping the early groundwork
-- and a possible late surge -- help him beat expectations. He was slated to start his day in Fort Dodge, in the deeply conservative far northwest corner of the state.
