WASHINGTON (AP) — Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback on Monday vowed to keep his presidential campaign going through the Iowa caucuses this winter, despite his third-place finish in the Republicans' weekend straw poll. "We invested heavily in the straw poll to get a top three finish and we got a top three finish," Brownback said Monday. "Certainly a lower finish would have been very harmful to us continuing the race." Brownback came in behind surprise runner-up Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, who is competing for the same bloc of Brownback said he would begin stressing his foreign policy experience as a former member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and one-time chairman of the Middle East subcommittee. "We'll be emphasizing more foreign policy because I do believe the next president should go in and not need on the job training," Brownback said. Filed under: Iowa Sam Brownback
