Romney Snubs Weld, Santorum Visits

According to eyewitnesses in the UNC ballroom, Saturday night was an eventful evening for Weld County Republicans.  Presidential candidate Rick Santorum greeted Republicans at the annual Lincoln Day dinner, and spoke to sustained applause.  As Republican Representative Cory Gardner discovered, it was a tough act to follow.  He spoke to lackluster applause later in the evening.

However, according to other sources, some of the real drama occurred during the preparation for the meeting.  Other Republican presidential candidates began calling in their attempt to sway the local Republican crowd.  The Lincoln Day dinner was one of two this weekend, in Colorado.  Romney wanted to send a representative while he travelled to Nevada, when he found out Santorum was coming.  Instead, Weld County Republicans extended an invitation to Romney as well, which he refused.  He chose Las Vegas; Santorum chose Weld County.

Santorum did manage to stir many in the party, and bring fresh name recognition for himself.  Will Romney's snub and Santorum's visit impact the Presidential race in Northern Colorado?  Stay tuned.

When we have such poor choices, it is easy to get caught up in the new guy fervor. Unfortunately, Rick Santorum is no better than the others, maybe far worse.

No, and it's stupid to suggest otherwise.
