Just got back. Huckabee is still speaking the Panther Room. Anybody looking outside though will see Steve the Sign Guy's flatbed sized Ron Paul banner. We handed out well over 100 flyers... and had over a half dozen big Ron Paul fans there with shirts etc. We had people leaving with to go orders saying:
- "I really like Ron Paul!"
- "Why haven't I heard of him before?"

And better still ... there were people there just eating their lunch that came up to some of us and said "I'm a Ron Paul supporter too!".

And the icing on the cake ... a MASSIVE black county cop rolled up in an unmarked car. I figured he was going to look us over hard for profane signs... nope. He walked in... and on the way back out said "I hope ya'll win ... I want my country back ... I'm tired of those guys in Washington".

Apparently Huckabee was tipped off to our MASSIVE sign and stuff at the main entrance, as he quietly snuck in the back entrance. If he leaves the same way, Steve should have pretty good shots of him from behind the massive Ron Paul sign.

Photos and video coming soon. Steve had his camcorder out .... and Gary (guy who filmed GOP luncheon in Spartanburg) was there as well with gear.

That's exciting stuff. It's almost like we've got a black ops team working for us.

Lol Maybe we can go stalk Bin Laden it be cool if a bunch of Ron Paul supporters caught him. Then maybe we can get headline "Ron Paul grassroots effort captures Bin Laden."

Hey Jeremy
We had a lot of fun today. I moved the truck in front in one space and waited for a space right in front. I wanted to get an exit video of Huckabee but his driver picked up on it. he moved the SUV around to the right side. I moved the truck to the right side. Got a short clip of them running at the end.
