This article is somewhat outdated now, but still good for a laugh...haha.
So, here is a link to the article which I have tried to post below...but is really too wide to work well here on the blog.

How the Candidates Roll
While the G.O.P. hopefuls are all making their
final tours around early voting states, their modes of travel — and
their entourages — vary widely.
Newt Gingrich, who had done little
on-the-ground campaigning until
recently, kicked off an Iowa bus tour
on Tuesday.

Rick Santorum has made hundreds of
stops in Iowa and was the first candidate
to visit all 99 counties in the state. He
sometimes travels alone, but often with
just one press aide.

Rick Perry is also on a bus tour
through Iowa. The slogan on his bus,
which four months ago read “Get
America Working Again,” now reads
“Faith, Jobs and Freedom.”

efforts in more highly populated areas.

Jan. 10 primary.

Michele Bachmann has spent more
time in Iowa than most of the other
candidates, and in a final push ahead

“99-county” tour of the state, making
as many as 10 stops each day.
