For those of you that said "Young people don't vote and don't care!" tell you what, RP supporters OWNED my precinct last night.
Over half were under the age of 30.
We got to give short speeches, I made one in support of RP, and so did another person. Two Romney supporters also gave a speech. One said, "Ronmey's a good businessman. I like that." In my speech I said "I don't want my country run like a business, I want it run like a COUNTRY."
So we vote in the straw poll, Romney first. A little less than half the hands go up. RP. EVERYONE ELSE, including all the young people, about 60%. The Romney guy looked shocked and mumbled to himself. We elected a slate of all RP delegates.
I did my part, and sent at least a small message.
