My name is Dalton Glasscock. I am 18 years old, I am a registered Republican and I excited to cast my first vote for Gov. Mitt Romney.
I am proud to be a Republican. I have the honor of representing the great state of Kansas as their Republican Page alongside Alexandra Coyler.
At 3:30 a.m. Saturday morning, I woke to begin a journey to officially begin the 2012 election.
Arriving in Tampa Bay Florida at 11:47am I knew I would fit right in.
The first thing I saw upon de-boarding the plane was a “Welcome Republicans” sign with dozens of friendly faces nearby, a barber shop quartet singing “God Bless the USA” and hundreds of freedom loving, and fired up Republicans ready to take back our country!
The staff and volunteers from not only the Committee on Arrangements, but the city of Tampa, and the airport went out of their way to accommodate GOP’ers from across the nation.
Billboard after billboard drenched the Tampa highway from “Don’t Trust the Liberal Media”, to dozens of “Welcome to Tampa Bay” and my personal favorite, “Welcome to Tampa Bay where our Mayor and every Council Member is a Democrat.”
The experience I am about to have will be a life changing, eye opening, and exhilarating one to say the least.
It is great to see 100 fired-up teenagers here to support the Romney-Ryan Ticket! The youth of America are waking up to the fact that our nation is under attack.
We see the economy affecting our family pocketbooks, our faith continually being attacked, and we are tired of sitting on the sidelines!
As the storm is brewing in the Gulf of Mexico, the spirit of the Republican Party is coming alive!
Beware liberals. We are preparing for November!

I like this young man very much already!
God bless u Dalton!
I'm excited to see action from this country's youth!!
Dalton, if you are truly looking for a 'life changing, eye opening, and exhilarating' experience, we have this thing called the 'US military'! I doubt that you've heard of them, being a republican and all, but they're the people who go and fight the wars your fellow GOP'ers start. They'll help make a man of you, and it sure looks like you need that!
Good luck!
Go get 'em, Dalton! Represent well. Be safe.
It's always nice to see concerned and informed youth getting involved. Hopefully this will be a memorable experience for this kid.

Damn you son of a b1tch. Have the balls to confront these kids and say Iin their faces and see if hey don't rip you a new one. What a class act you are, and pathetic.
Joel,
No problem.
Your're still a pathetic loser. Pick on your own kid and not someone else's , damn red commie bastardized moron.
Joel Rivera
Not picking on anyone. Just hate to see how misguided these kids are.
Nice name-calling. So, now I'm a son of a b!tch damn red commie bastardized moron.
LOL! I see you have no argument.

Your comment is a testament to the kind of misguided a-hole you are. Kids are free to think how they want, whether they're Republican or Democrat. You are setting a fine example in attacking these kids because they don't conform to your low level of thinking. Who's the bully now. What a pathetic idiotic fool. Leave them alone.
Sounds like a pro to me. Oh the power of those Kansas Young Republicans! They are awesome!
