Obama’s grassroots support in Colorado fades. Hillary’s holds.

Last week I attended a meeting of local Hillary supporters at Mannie Rodriguez's place to review what took place at the Colorado CD 6 Convention on May 3. Last Saturday I attended the CD 2 convention. At both conventions there was a drop-off of support for Barack Obama, while Hillary Clinton’s support held steady.

At CD 2, there were 272 Hillary delegates seated, which was all the delegates she won in the district. There were 556 Obama delegates seated, which was about 50 short of the delegates he had won in the district.

Gary Hart did not speak for Obama at the Boulder County Democratic Convention

There were roughly 1,400 Democrats (delegates, alternates, and active party volunteers) at the Boulder County Democratic Party Convention in Longmont, Colorado on March 15, 2008.

Wellington Webb, the popular former Mayor of Denver, was there in great form to speak for Hillary. By coin toss, I think, Mayor Webb was scheduled to go first.
