Caucus Results in Colorado - An Indicator of Change?

PPPS ( Littleton) A loyal reader, Citizen Pete reports that Rick Santorum carried the evening in his local GOP precinct near Littleton, Colorado. Pete said that in 2010, only 5 citizens showed up at his precinct caucus, but there were 39 there tonight, indicative of a still active GOP race and some enthusiasm for replacing the current occupant of the White House.

The official vote tally:

• Rick Santorum      23 votes  or 59 %
• Mitt Romney         10 votes  or 26 %
• Ron Paul                5 votes or 13 %
• Newt Gingrich        1 vote or 2 %

Pete indicated with a smile that his rousing 30-second speech for Santorum probably had no influence on the result.

For his three-precinct district, the vote was slightly different, but Santorum still came out on top.

• Santorum 47 %
• Romney   35 %
• Paul         13 %
• Gingrich     5 %
