The CO, MN & MO Results Thread

[California8429]

I'll report my precinct as soon as I can. Last year Romney won over 50%, Huckabee and Paul tied around 20% and McCain got around 10% with some 25 ish people for 08. Only four came in 2010. So it should be a decent indication of how the state will go by 08 standards.

My precinct

Romney 13
Santorum 8
Gingrich 4

Romney got half the vote in 08. Slightly higher turnout this year. CO GOP is set up to support Romney.  Our captains, chosen by the party beforehand, are now automatically state delegates (the ones who vote for the national delegates).

HURRAY! Cream him in Colorado RICK!

[California8429]

Are insiders saying that Romney will still win Colorado?

wait for Jefferson, El Paso, and Pueblo. Romney went below 50% in Douglas and he got 70% in 08 and that's a big county.

Facebook friends from around the state are reporting close Romney-Santorum races or huge Santorum blow outs. I'm getting results from the eastern plains, denver-metro area and Colorado Springs area.

Why Colorado is so slow?

We just voted. My precinct didn't even vote until 8:15 despite sign in beginning at 6 and the vote supposed to start at 7. A majority of the precincts went "super caucus" this year and did all the candidate speeches together and then either broke up into precincts and continued through payments and voting and selection of delegates or did that in a big group. The point is it isn't the counting that's slow, it is the fact that the results are just getting in.

Santorum winning Adams and the SE and southern I-25. This is a bad night for Romney. Santorum might win all the Hispanic counties and he's competitive in the metro area! Bye bye Romney unless boulder come in for you heavy. Santorum focussed his campaigning in the north, Weld and Larimer.

Thanks for info...sorry if I'm look a little impatient, but now in Italy is 5.22 am and I start to be tired.

I can imagine, its 11:30 where I am and I'm already impatient.

We've never done it this way before, but it is more efficient so the congressional and state candidates can talk to everyone at once instead of going precinct by precinct fast enough before precincts adjourn.

28 in Santorum holding steady. I don't think he's gonna drop more than about 4 or so, which still puts Romney short.

These numbers are off. 3,000 voters is not 1/4 of the vote. Turnout in Jefferson was larger than 08 so if they report less numbers...idk where ballots are going.

Yuma County GOP Results (Eastern plains): Santorum 115, Gingrich 40, Romney 33, Paul 16, Bachmann 2.

I'm getting reports of huge Santorum wins in El Paso.

[California8429]

El paso County, CO Precinct 158...Paul 5, Gingrich 2, Romney 22, Santorum 33

El Paso...50 votes for Santorum, 13 for Romney, 11 for Gingrich, 4 for Paul.

Btw Phil, I like Santorum a lot and have contemplated of switching to his camp, but every time I think of it, I see/get some press release from their student coalition and their president/leader makes me want to punch the Santorum campaign in the face, but mostly the student coalition. As for the more legit part of his campaign, they have him on exactly the right track. They knew to get the he!l out of Nevada and go to Colorado and Minnesota instead, props to common sense.

Oh wow, Romney is in 4th place with 11% in Dolores county, the one county that touches Utah that has reported. Romneyland doesn't seem to go east from Utah.

Dolores isn't like that. It is very Hispanic and was the only county Cleve Tidwell (libertarian) carried in the 2010 Senate caucus.

Nevada doesn't strike me as a social Conservative hotspot, so I understand he had to tread to CO and MN, and that worked out in his favor.

But Gingrich stayed in and had no chance there from the start.

The results from Arapahoe County look odd to me.  With 67% in there are 189 reported votes.  In 2008, there were 8,901 votes.  Did they go with one big meeting site and two small ones, and if so, why?

Exactly what I'm not understanding
