Colorado Republicans split delegate votes between Romney, unified Paul and Santorum supporters - The Denver Post, Lynne Bartels:
April 14, 2012 - "Colorado Republicans are heading to their national convention with their most conservative delegation in years, as supporters for Ron Paul and Rick Santorum masterminded a stunning upset in electing delegates....
"Santorum's supporters united with Paul's backers to form the 'Conservative Unity Slate' to win a slew of delegate slots. Four years ago, only one Paul supporter was elected to attend the national convention.
"'This is a revolution,' said Florence Sebern of Denver, an 'unpledged' delegate who was wearing a Paul pin. She was part of the slate....
"At congressional assemblies Thursday and Friday, Republicans elected 21 delegates and 21 alternates. Thirteen of the 18 winning delegates elected Friday were on the Paul/Santorum unity slate.
"Today, to the relief of Romey backers, eight of the 12 at-large delegate slots, and six of the 12 at-large alternate slots went to Romney supporters."
