Romney Rally in Colorado - Photo Essay

PPPS (Littleton)—We sent Photographer Pete to cover the Romney campaign event held this evening at D'Evelyn High School in Jefferson County, Colorado. Unfortunately, Photographer Pete, forgot to take a fresh battery set, so we had to rely on photographs taken by Citizen Pete, who attended the rally.

Here are some photographs that Citizen Pete took with his cell phone. Click on images to enlarge.

Two young Romney enthusiasts who came early.  That's former Congressman Tom Tancredo (orange hat)  talking with State Representative Libby Szabo.

1 1/2 hours before the official event start, the crowd was already well over a thousand.

Singer Jo Dee Messina and her band warmed up the crowd with some  great country music.

As it grew dark, the crowd kept getting bigger, and Jo Dee Messina got them stoked up.

By the time the concert was over, just a few more folks had arrived - probably about 8 to 10,000.

Former Congressman Bob Beauprez really got the crowd fired up.

The crowd got to see the Romney Motorcade turn off the highway.....

....... and arrive at the school (in background right).

In addition to the Pundit Pete Press Service, there was a full press contingent - local, national and international - to cover the event.....

......... and at least one volunteer who spoke Spanish.

JUNTOS CON ROMNEY

(Together with Romney)

As Romney took the stage, the crowd went wild.

After giving his stump speech, Mitt Romney worked the crowd, including a handshake with State Rep. Robert Ramirez......

....... and a photo with Robert's daughter, Lauren.

A great time was had by all.
