If RP can pull crowds like this in every University, he could very well build momentum like Obama did, if only the GOP and media wasn't fighting us so hard...

Ron Paul can most certainly pull in crowds like this at every university, and regularly does.

Ron Paul Speaks to Capacity Crowd at Louisiana State University Event
Inaugural Youth for Ron Paul event exceeds expectations




LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE (http://www.businesswire.com/))--2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul spoke to a capacity crowd in Baton Rouge at Louisiana State University’s Union Theater tonight.


“This encouraging turnout shows just how popular Ron Paul’s ideas are among youth, who this election cycle will comprise a core set of voters and volunteers”


The visit marked the first on-campus visit since the launch of his Youth for Ron Paul initiative, and it exceeded expectations with more than 1,250 LSU students, other youth and the at-large community.
“The sense of excitement here at LSU just after Dr. Paul’s successful visit to Florida was palpable, as young supporters and Baton Rouge residents demonstrated that Ron Paul’s support is found everywhere nationwide,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

“Remember, at this first YFP event – which we plan to duplicate on other campuses – there were no freebies, no exclusive opportunities to greet the candidate, and no well-organized straw poll event. There was just Ron Paul, which appears to be more than enough to draw the 1,250 or so supporters,” said Mr. Benton.

The visit to LSU for the YFP event occurred immediately prior to Dr. Paul’s presiding over the grand opening celebration of his Louisiana state headquarters, also in Baton Rouge which drew an additional crowd of 700.
“I think I speak for YFP supporters nationwide when I say how pleased we are with the turnout at this inaugural event and the campaign’s demonstration of young people’s enthusiasm,” Edward King, National Youth Coordinator, said.

“This encouraging turnout shows just how popular Ron Paul’s ideas are among youth, who this election cycle will comprise a core set of voters and volunteers,” said Mr. King.

Hey everyone,

I'm the events coordinator for Youth for Ron Paul at LSU. We have an official recording of his speech on an HD camera we rented from LSU. However, it doesn't come with the cables you need to transfer the HD tape to digital format, and the lab which has the cables won't be open again until Monday. So our tube appears to be stuck on the camera until I get my hands on an HDV/DV cable. Sorry about that! Maybe some cell phone videos will begin to pop up soon.

I'm sure there must be other cables around, on campus. Someone has to have an hd camera. But it's nice to know we WILL have HD, at some point!

Me too, and it can be done pretty easily.
Simply get one more person to support Ron Paul. Just one. Done.

If everyone did that, we would double our support, presumably see a rise in donations and grassroots activity, and double our crowd numbers. Theres your 5000. Did I mention we'd be polling in 2nd place?

One more. Just one more.

Actually, better make it 3 in case we have to make up some slack ;)

He clearly *did* win and there clearly *was* vote fraud. That's what's nice about a caucus system as opposed to a primary: it's transparent enough and small enough you can actually know such things as opposed to merely stewing and speculating.

Someone posted the other day for the first time who had registered in 2008. Me, I didn't bother registering until I just absolutely HAD to say something.....

Warning to those who follow that approach, there being only one person who can sign you up (I think), if you wait to register until you MUST speak..... it will take a clearance period before you can do so. Mine took a day, I think. And sometimes when a lot of people register all at once (debates etc) it can take......

...oh.......longer.
