2012 Iowa caucus: Where are the candidates spending their final day of campaigning? DES MOINES, Iowa - It's caucus eve. Do you know where your candidates are? How the GOP hopefuls choose to spend their time on the trail speaks volumes about the various constituencies that they're trying to court, and that's especially true of the mad dash leading up to Tuesday's first-in-the-nation nominating contest. On Sunday, the top-tier candidates had sharply contrasting days on the trail. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R) held events in Council Bluffs and Atlantic, Iowa. The former sits in Pottawattamie County, which was Romney Country in the 2008 GOP caucuses; the former Massachusetts governor took 33 percent there to former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee's (R) 22 percent. The latter is in Cass County, which Romney lost to Huckabee by six points in 2008. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum (R), meanwhile, spent Sunday in the northwest corner of the Hawkeye State - a social conservative stronghold that went for Huckabee by a wide margin in 2008. Indeed, the four northwestern counties of Iowa are among the 20 where Romney placed third in the caucuses four years ago. And then there's Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.), who disappeared from the campaign trail over the weekend in order to celebrate New Year's in Texas. It's no coincidence that Paul's absence came as the candidate had come under withering criticism over several issues in recent days, including his foreign policy stance and controversial newsletters penned in his name. Today, six of the seven GOP hopefuls are campaigning in Iowa. Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, who has all but written off the Hawkeye State, holds two events in New Hampshire. Below is a look at the candidates" day ahead on the trail, in order from greatest number of campaign events to fewest. Rick Santorum: The former Pennsylvania senator holds five events today, mostly in central Iowa. He hits the towns of Polk, Perry, Boone, Newton and Altoona. Santorum on the map. Ron Paul: The Texas congressman also holds five events today. He starts in central Iowa, then works his way to the easternmost part of the state, followed by a final campaign leg up north.
