I was at this event. The overflow gymnasium where I was had about 1000 people in it, so call it 2300 people in attendance.

One thing I noticed is the article said "When he read the line “endowed by their creator” there was much applause". Not entirely true. Rick read the line "endowed by their" (pause)...and the audience said "CREATOR", then started applauding, then "You people in Idaho know these things". Yea love Idaho.

Didn't see many (any) protesters in the overflow. One guy got kicked out for talking too loud either to his friend or on cell phone. Didn't see which but wasn't heckling didn't seem. Was real close to me and seem more like a "SHHHH people can't hear" removal than "Get out you Occupy moron".

Two guys walked in holding hands but didn't say anything, just held up their hands at the door and walked out. That was just about it for them.

After his speech to the main room Rick came over to the overflow area and took two questions from us, then walked the room shaking hands and taking pictures, for free. (Unlike Romney who is supposed to be here Friday, at $1000 a ticket, $2500 for pictures).

Are we electing a Daddy?

Just now noticed a glaring ommission in this article. Rick spent a LOT of time talking about Iran, probably more than any other topic.

Sounds great! I hope he comes here so that my Mom and I can attend on of his rallies!

"Two guys walked in holding hands but didn't say anything, just held up their hands at the door and walked out. That was just about it for them."

...And they were probably livid that they didn't get any more attention than that. I predicted quite some time ago, that the most irrational elements of the left, specifically the homo and pro-death lobbies, would become increasingly shrill as Santorum gained traction. Next, there will be two guys making out. When that doesn't raise enough eyebrows, they'll try having sex at a Santorum rally. Eventually their depravity will be on open enough of a display it will drive many middle of the road Americans firmly into the Santorum camp.

I thought Idaho was the potato state.

“When he read the line “endowed by their creator” there was much applause when he emphasized the word “creator.””

Santorum/Gingrich? I’d proudly vote for that ticket.

Thanks for the report ....If you have any vid cam/phone reports why not offer them to his staff so they can select and perhaps use them...As a matter of fact the same applies for Newt...What these guys are doing on the stump because they’re hitting the big zero give a flavor to what both are about ...But his report has been one of the best I’ve read anbout their candidate and what he’s doing on the stump...

Speaking of the seven kids ranging from 3-20, I have a question that has been bothering me since a CNN debate.

I don’t know if Santorum was joking or serious.

Wolf Blitzer asked the candidates what they would change in the White House. Santorum said if he became president, he would expand the White House — not for government, but for his seven children who would need lots of bedrooms.

Was he serious?

Given that Idaho, like Nevada, has a sizable Mormon population, would this state be a strong candidate for a Romney win? If I'm not mistaken, the Mormon percentage is even higher in ID than in NV. Additionally, like Nevada, New Hampshire, and Maine, is Idaho a fairly weak state for evangelicals and doesn't it have an above average portion of libertarian-minded people? Remember that Paul came in second to Romney in NH and ME. It is interesting that Santorum believes ID is in contention. He must have good reason to think he has a chance in a state which would naturally be strongly pro-Romney.
