The big winner - Santorum
The big looser - Gingrich
Ron Paul lives to fight another day. This is a war of attrition. Before today we had a 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 4th. Tonight we got a 2nd, 3rd so far.
What these elections results are telling me is that its still up in the air. All the annointed ones are showing the chinks in their armor. It's not over, it's game on!!!

We lost Gunnison and Gilpin county by just 1 vote....
Excellent, good job!
Same boat for us - we both got delegate positions to the County Assembly (our county only elects delegates to the Congressional and State Assemblies at the County Assembly) and the third delegate position was awarded to an RP supporter. As was 1 alternate. Two alternates were not RP supporters.
So we got 26.6% of the straw poll vote, but 100% of the primary delegates and 33% of the alternates.
Overall, very interesting night. Very fun.
Congrats! It's all about the delegates, baby.
Not sure about Northern Colorado, they have a different coordinator, but I suspect it was all over. In '08, the people running the show were long time GOP activists and they knew the system. In '12, we have people from across the country, straight out of college. They're nice people, but we could have used a little more experience.
Still, I'm actually quite happy, seeing how so many people I know swept the delegate wins everywhere they tried. We had 0 focus on educating people on RP this time. It was all about identifying RP supporters and making sure they show up at caucus. The straw poll has even less meaning than last time.
You know what's funny? Zero people that were identified through VoterTracker as Paul supporters showed up. I also made calls and knocked on doors just trying to get support for me as delegate (not as a Ron Paul supporter), and only 1 person showed up. Very frustrating. But it worked out in the end I guess.

Yeah, not good. Our delegate share will be higher, though.

In Larimer county we elect state delegates tonight. Out of the 2 spots from my precinct I got one and I was outspoken for Ron Paul. From reports I'm seeing from people I know up here we grabbed a lot of the state delegates. Not a single Santorum or Newt supporter in my precinct even ran for the all important state delegate spot. We did very well in the real My precinct straw poll vote was
Mitt Romney 12
Ron Paul 7
Rick Santorum 6
Newt 1
Mitt Romney 12
Ron Paul 7
Rick Santorum 6
Newt 1

Story of my life doing Pauler work at the Conventions. I can't tell you how many issues we lost by literally one vote. All the while at least a dozen Paulers felt it was more important to stay home and pick their toenails or some BS.
