Missouri GOP activity:
1. Arresting people for videotaping speeches
2. Totally unorganized
3. Guy "leading" avoiding the state
I can not WAIT for the general election.
ST. LOUIS •
A caucus in the gymnasium at Francis Howell North High School in St. Peters was shut down after about a half hour of boisterous disputes, some of it over a caucus rule barring videotaping and other recording.
Greg Dalay, a Paul supporter who was sitting next to Suitter in the gym, said Suitter was arrested when he was videotaping.
Matt Ehlen, the caucus chairman, said police asked that the session shut down for the safety of the hundreds of people present. A news release issued by police said event organizers made the decision to shut the event and asked for police assistance to clear the building.
In Ballwin, participants were shut out of a Rick Santorum speech because the caucus site -- the city council chambers- had reached its 118-person capacity.
The township's GOP committeeman said that, if need be, the caucus would be moved to the parking lot.
Santorum spoke in Ballwin for only about 10 minutes, but many caucus goers had to wait outside while Santorum attended to other business.
"We have had people who left, elderly who could not find a place to sit," said Craig Berechelt, a Mitt Romney organizer.
Romney appeared to be strategically staying away from Missouri on Saturday.
