At this hour, my old high school is getting Santorum'd (in Boise)

[IDemo]

The crowds were wrapped around the auditorium and they opened up additional room for the overflow.

Yech.

1. Sorry!

Let us know what inside info you get, please!

[IDemo]

4. Oh, I'm not inside or anywhere near

I'm sure the Santorum news will be surging from the teevee tonight, though.

2. I am so glad to be out of there. My sympathies.

3. Are the janitors getting hazard pay

for cleaning up that overflowing Santorum? I hope they are at least supplying hazmat suits.

[IDemo]

5. No, but they get to stay up past their normal bedtime..

9. You didn't hear? Newt had it covered

In the spirit of inter-party harmony, he lined up a cadre of underprivileged Idaho school kids for cleanup detail. And there were no Hazmat issues -- at such an early age no one will ever suspect a thing if they happen to expire a bit early, several more decades down the road give or take.

6. everytime a place is Santorumed, Jesus cries.

7. Obama drew 15,000 here in 2008

Several thousand more had to be turned way from BSU's Taco Bell Arena. Shortly thereafter, Obama bested Hillary 87%-13% in the state Democratic caucus, his best showing during the entire campaign. Could Santorum draw this size crowd in Boise, or score such a lopsided caucus victory? I seriously doubt it.

8. Obama's visit was also on a 20 degree morning, if I recall

I was sorry to have missed it, but I was at the caucus, the brightest political moment in my 40 years here.
