The last statement made it seem like Ron Paul sent that guy $330 dollars. It did not mention that it was probably sent by other Ron Paul supporters.

"Bachmann is hardly the only potential candidate shopping for votes: One Ron Paul supporter told Hotsheet that after he posted on a Paul forum that he lacked the money to attend the conference, he was sent $330 to make the trip from Austin. And there are rampant rumors that other candidates have paid for candidates to attend to vote for them as well."

BULLSHIT. Ron Paul did NOT pay for the tickets. That is GRASSROOTS chipins!

I know. I tried to comment, but it didn't go through.

Yeah, it wasn't very clear.

Bachmann had a pretty good speech; she is preaching unity, and not putting anyone down. That is a strategy that works well...

Well, we'll see what Ron says. Too bad we're open for boos now too, hope it doesn't mess up his speech.
