I just returned from the Republican caucus in my small Minnesota town. The mayor, who acted as convener, says it was the largest turnout he’s seen in his 44 years of attending caucuses. I’d say close to 200 people turned out. He was expecting 50 or less. Romney won the straw vote at our caucus which I expected because it’s fairly conservative area.
Our local conservative talk station is broadcasting live and is reporting overflow crowds at Republican caucuses across the state.
82 people showed up in a room designed for maybe 45.
44 votes for Romney out of 82.
Ron Paul (13 votes) almost caught McCain (17).
Huckleberry only got 8 votes.
On the way home, on the radio, the FUX newscasters were shilling for McInsane but they sounded openly glum.
Cheers!
My Mom just called, she lives in Eagan. She was elected a delegate tonight for Romney. In her precinct, Ron Paul came out on top with Romney in second.
