Politics & Glittergate: What do you guys think of Santorum winning?

I know it was only 2% turnout for the Republican caucuses, but still an upset over Romney.  http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_19914772  What do you guys think - too early to show Romney support in CO or just all of Santorum's supporters out made up 1% o the 2% who showed? 

Also, Andrealynn...were you trying to glittergate Romney yesterday? Smile

"To underscore that it wasn't his night, Romney narrowly avoided an unexpected attack from a spectator trying to throw glitter on him after he went to shake hands with those in the crowd."

  • Well tickets for The Book of Mormon did just go on sale here 2 weeks ago! :)- (We got some by the way!).

    I had no idea there was such a small turn out. Honestly I was kind of thinking we'd pull for Ron Paul given going Blue last election. However, maybe it just goes to show that the few who are totally committed to the party are REALLY committed to conservatism. Sorry but I just think that guy is, well, NUTS!

    Clearly we are both currently avoiding our daily duties! ;)

  • I think everyone expected the state to go overwhelmingly for Romney so no one showed up.
  • lol! I have never tried to glittergate anyone.

  • I get both stoked and angry by the caucuses.  Stoked by seeing lots more young people there which is a good sign.  Angry for the "meh, I can't be bothered to be a part of the process which has a direct impact on my life and the entire country" attitude.

    People discuss issues and the candidates at the caucus.  Minds can be changed and knowledge acquired.  People's real life issues, problems and hopes are dissected, shared and a sense of empowerment comes from that.

    So forgive me if I experience a bit of ire that so few people partake of the process.  I'm torn between tossing my hands up at the ambivalence and tearing a path across Denver encouraging people to "get out the vote."

  • I feel ya there, DP. I love the caucuses. I don't understand not going at all. 2% turnout is so incredibly pathetic.

  • CBS4 just tweeted that it was actually an 8% turnout, which is a lot better than 2%, but still pretty crappy.
