C-SPAN

Sidestepping his performance in the final Presidential Debate, Mitt Romney came to Colorado's legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater for a self described 'victory' rally on Tuesday night.

Update 8:37 a.m. 10/24/2012: State Capitol Reporter Bente Birkeland was at Red Rocks Tuesday night and filed this report:

--

While only 59.2 million tuned in for Monday's debate, the crowds were over capacity at Red Rocks. Reports on social media stated that 25,000 tickets had been given away for the event however, the capacity at Red Rocks is only 9,450 - many were turned away as the venue filled to the top.

Here's our recap of reactions, comments, and pictures from the Romney-Ryan rally at Red Rocks via Storify:

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced?") but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn't imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.
