Just returned from my causus, Cedar Rapids, Linn County (CR 30).
Just as I predicted, big numbers for Romney. 195 votes, here are the counts and rough percents:
Romney - 79, about 39 percent
Paul - 40, about 20 percent
Santorum - 38, about 19 percent
Perry - 18, about 9 percent
Newt - 14, about 7 percent
Huntsman - 4, about 2 percent
Bachmann - 1...about 1/2 a percent...
There was 1 other vote, I didn’t catch it...sorry.
Only prepared speeches were Paul and Santorum, another guy spoke for Newt when no one else had signed up. No other candidate had a representative.
Last time around, my former neighbor (and, at one point, maybe still, the head mormon dude in the area) spoke for Mitt. He was there tonight, but didn’t speak for him.
But he had the troops out in force...(and I know ‘head mormon dude’ isn’t the correct title, no offense intended, I just don’t remember his title).
What happened to Michele Thatcher?
