Indeed, Santorum spoke to an overflow crowd again in New Hampshire, and the campaign had to turn people away to stand in a separate room where they watched the candidate speak on a projector. Those in the overflow room who had questions were out of luck.
But it didn't have to be that way.
The campaign rejected an offer from the Durbin School, which hosted the event, to move his speech to a larger venue that could have accommodated everyone present, school and law enforcement officials said. The school's gym is next door, but the campaign organizer didn't agree to the plan.
"They wanted to make sure the venue was packed," Andy Hungerford, the school's head of buildings and grounds, told Yahoo News. He said ?the campaign told him specifically that the reason was to give the feeling that the crowds were overflowing. He suggested use of the gym after receiving a report that venue organizers in a nearby town were having overcrowding problems.
Tom Vanderbilt, chief of the Dublin Fire Department, confirmed the story.
"We got a gym that fits 500 people and they said no," Vanderbilt told Yahoo News. ?"We had a better venue, and they didn't want it."
