ABC's LOUISE SIMPSON: The tables have turned for Santorum in Iowa! In 2012, Santorum was the winner of the Iowa Caucuses. Today, he is polling at less than three percent, according to a recent Iowa CNN/ORC Poll.The former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania became the third highest-ranking Republican in the Senate, when he was named Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference in 2001. Before that, he was a U.S. Representative. Most recently, he served as the head of EchoLight, a Christian film company.Santorum is the father to seven children, all of whom he home schooled. No doubt, they will enjoy all of the food and festivities the Iowa State Fair has to offer. -

Lincoln Chafee Says Jeb Bush is ‘Delusional’ on Iraq and Drinking the Kool-aid12:40 PM - 15 Aug 2015

ABC's VERONICA STRACQUALURSI: Chafee, the only Republican senator at the time to vote against the Iraq War, went after Jeb Bush today, saying that Bush was drinking “neocon Kool-Aid” and ‘delusional’ in thinking that his brother George W. left Iraq secure after leaving office. (Fun Fact: Chafee and Bush were dormmates at Phillips Academy.)
Chafee, who just wrapped up his speech at the soapbox, was once a Republican senator and more recently the independent governor of Rhode Island but is now running for the Democratic nomination for president.
“This country’s getting upside down” with money in politics, Chafee said. While Chafee said that he’s running a low budget campaign, he trusts the voters to do their homework and pick the best candidate based on his or her record. Chafee doesn’t have a Super PAC and is trailing behind his fellow Democratic candidates in raising money.
Chafee is running a long-shot campaign. A recent CNN/ORC poll has Chafee trailing at less than one percent, behind every other major Democratic candidate.
