COLORADO Caucus Results Thread

[Gravik]

We're dead last in Colorado...wtf?

 

[mosquitobite]

The Romney people should be concerned. There is a major, MAJOR lack of enthusiasm lack Romney.

McCain had ZERO enthusiasm and he was still the nominee.

And the hippies?!

Hippies wont register Republican. Its gonna be tough for us in closed primaries..

Supporters had to register Republican by December 7.

 

[Paulistinian]

I don't understand how so few Paul supporters voted tonight

 

[joshnorris14]

15% and 11% in the two biggest counties in Colorado in 2008 (Denver and Colorado Springs). Surprising.

Santorum is doing well in the high plains counties. He may have more strength in the midwest states than anyone realized.

It's also why he lost the General. Why don't actual primary voters understand they're nominating a looser?

 

[Monotaur]

Well, I just got back from our caucus (Boulder precinct). Poll results:

Romney: 9

Paul: 4

Santorum: 2

We did get all 3 delegate positions, and 1 of the alternates to the County Assembly though. Our county does not elect delegates to the Congressional District or State Assembly at the precinct level, just the county level.

It was actually quite fun. While most were for Romney, they were very open when people came out for Ron Paul.

 

[Neversummer303]

Coloradoan here I think were gonna get more delegates than you think out of Colorado!! Romney won our vote but sent no delegates, Ron Paul got 2 out 4 delegates!!

 

[samsung1]

we got a shot t beat out gingrich for 3rd i think

 

[MozoVote]

Yeah I was just posting on another thread about that. Santorum is doing well in the high plains counties and around Colorado Springs. Those are more culturally similar to the midwest than the mountain tourist towns, which will lean libertarian.

 

[Maltheus]

My caucus (about 60 people showed up):

Paul: 5
Romney: 17
Gingrich: 11
Santorum: 23

I got elected as delegate for county, cd5 and state. Also reluctantly made the precinct leader. So barely 9% in the straw poll, but at least 33% in the state delegate win. I think I might have recognized a few others who got alternate slots. And the people I've been talking to online either swept it, or at least made it to state alternate (which should promote rather easily).

We'll do good, delegate-wise, in every precinct we had somebody running. However, I don't think that's all that many precincts. And it sucked that the campaign didn't distribute RP campaign materials to the caucus locations. No doubt, that will hurt us in the straw poll.

And the hippies?!

LULZOMG Ron Paul bring the hippies and the soldiers together!

Not really. There was much more of an emphasis on stealth this time. Nobody was reading Ron Paul speeches. Nobody was stumping for him. And the campaign staff forgot to send out campaign materials this time, unlike in '08 (essentially blacking him out at the caucus).

LULZOMG Ron Paul bring the hippies and the soldiers together!

Well, let's face it, you can be a soldier, a registered medical cannabis user and evangelical at the same time. Nothing impossible in CO.

 

[ctiger2]

My caucus: 3 showed up in '08, 23 showed up '12.

Romnoid - 9
Frothy - 7
Paul - 6
Grinch - 1

2 delegates 1 alt

1 of 2 of our delegates was for Paul for sure. The other I overheard she liked Paul best but didn't think he was electable so she'll probably be convinced to vote Romney, who knows. I tried to become a delegate but I've only lived here for less than 1 year and it seemed like everyone else knew each other so I had that going against me.

It was really frustrating attending this and it will be my first/last caucus.

 

[svobody]

Wow we are getting crushed in Colorado.

 

[voytechs]

Wish we could beat Gingrich in CO. Have him come in last in 3 states in a row (yea i know he wasnt on the ballot in MI), non the less we beat him. Every non RP republican i know cant stand Santorum, and he just roughed up the front runner. Everyone of them bruised except Paul who's rising.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

Wow we are getting crushed in Colorado.

It's a closed caucus, bro. Yet again, more evidence Ron will come in last in those types of primaries/caucuses. Had MN been the same, im sure the outcome would have been that as well.

Heh yea..3rd would be nice there, but still, great to see that piece of crap starting to fall out of it. He can take his NWO loving ass and crawl back under the rock he came out of soon.
