Met Ron Paul today
« on: March 10, 2012, 11:14:48 AM »
Paul is touring the caucus sites in JoCo today. Delightful guy. Did not tell him I'm voting for Romney.  I gotta give the Paul team props. Now I understand why they do so well at caucuses. Everybody else had one guy speak: Gingrich chose a professional local politician to go give a standard stump speech. Santorum's guy just read a letter from the candidate. Very lame. Romney's guy was just a local volunteer delivering extemporaneous remarks, which I appreciated, but it was pretty meh.

But Paul staged the whole thing perfectly to give it an extemporaneous "grassroots" feel. Started with one guy who made a few bumbling remarks, then said "well, that all I've got. Any body else want to talk for Doctor Paul?  At his point, the plant in the audience jumps up and finishes off with a good stem winder. Seemed pretty obvious, but effective.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I just got back from the Riley County caucus.  It was my first caucus.   :party:  Anyway, I thought the Gingrich, Paul, and Santorum speeches were all good.  The Romney speaker was kind of drab and boring.  My next door neighbor actually gave the speech for Gingrich.  I didn't have the heart to tell her that I was voting for Santorum.

Why would anyone ever vote for Santorum, ever?

As a joke, or as a protest to sanity.
