It's Not Everyday That You Meet Mitt Romney...

Romney Campaign Stop - Denver, Colorado - 2/1/08

I found out this morning that Mitt Romney was making a campaign stop here in Denver. So of course I skipped work for the afternoon and we all went. It was held at a local Ford dealership. Several hundred people showed up along with every media group you can imagine. He gave a speech inside but it was wall-to-wall people so most of the crowd, like us, couldn't get in. But the crowd was pretty pumped up and it was a total rally-type atmosphere, so we got in our fair share of cheering. After his speech, Romney did several interviews with the local media and then came out to mingle with the crowd. Of course there were mobs of people swarming him, but we lucked out and managed to stand right by the door he went through. Carter and I both got to shake his hand and talk to him. It was awesome!

But not everyone there was pro-Romney. There were a dozen or so kooks with banners chanting "Romney supports abortion!" ad nausem. Probably Huckabee supporters.
