Colorado Hispanic Republicans Rally For Glorious Victory!

• by: Colorado Pols

UPDATE: In response to questions about the photo below that have surfaced on a nationally prominent blog, we were forwarded another photo from yesterday’s Colorado Hispanic Republicans rally. Our source doesn’t want to misrepresent the size of yesterday’s crowd, and in all fairness, this second photo does show more people in attendance than the first.

As in, about three. ¡No más! See the “full crowd” after the jump.

The press advisory went out last week with great fanfare:

Unfortunately, something happened between that bold announcement and the actual Colorado Hispanic Republicans rally held yesterday at the state capitol.

Something obviously happened, because there appear to be more Colorado Hispanic Republicans listed on the press advisory than actually in attendance at yesterday’s rally.

It could honestly be a good thing to to see that lengthy advisory–otherwise you might get the idea that the people in the photo are all the Colorado Hispanic Republicans who, you know, exist.

Pro organizing tip: if a rally is about to send the opposite of the message you want, cancel it.
