Fred Thompson came through San Antonio this morning (most likely on his way to Dell this afternoon in Austin).
He had a $100 a head breakfast, and I believe a few big money photo ops. There were about 50-75 people that came out of the restaurant.
Of course, there were a few Ron Paul supporters waiting outside with signs. I made sure to try to get in every camera shot that Fred Thompson was in, with my sign, when he came out of the restaurant. I think it was his campaign organizer who was trying to pull me out of there (not forcefully, but I'm sure he was getting frustrated with Ron Paul folks). I spoke with one lady who walked up to me, I don't know much about local politics she said she was the daughter of Senator whatshisname who was a Democrat...I said Ron Paul was against the war and that I was deployed to Iraq and all I know is that we should not be over there. I gave her a slim jim :)
Also, some unknown person came in the night before and put up Ron Paul signs high on each of the telephone polls surrounding the restaurant. And a couple of our folks were given an interview.
