Two Quick Notes
(Cross-Posted to DemNotes at www.DemNotes.com)
I just wanted to drop two quick notes today on DemNotes. First, I forgot to mention one other thing I heard on Saturday. We all are seeing the intense interest on the Democratic side of this election. We are also hearing about the lack of interest on the Republican side. Nothing could show that further than what happened here in Fremont County over the past couple of weeks.
You may recall from my reporting that Fremont County had over 200 delegates to its Democratic Convention and Assembly. Historically and demographically, Fremont County is a Republican county. There are nearly twice as many Republicans as Democrats in Fremont County. Yet, they only had just over 170 delegates elected to their Republican County assembly. More importantly, when they actually held the assembly last weekend, we have heard that only 86 — that’s right, less than half of what the Democrats had — only 86 Republicans showed up! (In case you’re worried about quorum, don’t — the GOP has vastly different views on quorum than the Democrats.)
Something is happening in Colorado and in America!

Also, I’ve been lax in getting photos up to the photos page of DemNotes lately, but I’ve finally gotten pictures from several county assemblies up there today (not all of them, though — I didn’t bring a camera to a few). You can see all of the photos at:

Note, of course, that I’m not a professional photographer (that should be evident!). Many of the photos are grainy or blurry due to the poor lighting at most of these things (and my older digital camera). I don’t just pick out the best photos to upload — you pretty much see them all, so don’t expect the best-quality pix. (By the way, if you’re in a picture and you don’t want it up on the website, or you don’t think it is flattering, just let me know and I’ll take it down.)
See you all soon!
