Arvada West Republican Caucus: Romney Territory

From my own little corner of the Colorado caucus: I’ve just returned from a gathering of six Republican precincts held at Arvada West High School. The turnout of 141 shattered all records from recent memory, though probably was outdone by the Democrats who met on the other half of campus.

If our six precincts are anywhere near representative of the state of Colorado, it’s a lock for Romney. I confirmed this unofficial vote tally with the district captain:

Mitt Romney – 94 (67%)
Mike Huckabee – 20 (14%)
John McCain – 12 (9%)
Ron Paul – 10 (7%)
Uncommitted – 5 (4%)

In a night across the country that looks to be less than decisive for any candidate in either major party, Colorado should go into the Romney column. We’ll wait for official results, of course. At this point, it looks like the former Massachusetts governor needs to win California. Put a pot of coffee on ….

    We just got back from our caucuses, and the HD 27 presidential straw poll results are:

    Romney – 745 (67.72%)
    McCain – 153 (13.91%)
    Huckabee – 105 (9.55%)
    Paul – 97 (8.82%)

    Go Romney!!

    Hi, I am interested in joining my closest Republican Caucus, and I would like to know how. I know my precinct meets at A.West High School, but what dates and what times? I have tried to email others in the past and have received no responses. Can you please help? Thank you.
    A Fellow Elephant,
    Kristen
