CNBC Oakland University debate

[tievom]

Well, I have my ticket in hand along with the pre and post debate vip materials. I actually put out a FB post asking if any of my friends could hook me up with a ticket. To my surprise, a buddy came through - one that I had no clue could help me out. Apparently the ticket came from Romney's allocated stash of 12 tickets. Thanks Mitt! :D

I was wondering if any other RP supporters were going to be at the pre or post reception parties on campus or inside the O'rena for the debate itself. I first got an email from Eventbrite with the ticket, but then I got another email from the MI GOP saying toss it, we'll provide you the ticket when you check in at the reception. I'd love to meet up with some, um, 'like-minded' folks. My original Eventbrite ticket showed I was going to be in Sec. 4, so it sounds like it might be general seating. I have no idea how they are doing the seating.

Lucky dog! I don't know of anyone else who got in, but we'll be at the airport after to see Ron Paul off!

I wish I could do photos, but as you read, no cameras or cell phones will be allowed in the buildings. Since I'll likely be stuck on campus for a while, I figure I'll just stir the pot at the receptions. I've been wanting to talk with our MI reps over Matt's Law and the religious exception they put in. Could make for an interesting night.:)

I'm not sure you want to get into religious discussion at a Republican Debate. Obviously you are entitled to do as you wish, I just think that will fuel more of the "I like Ron Paul, but I hate his supporters", I'd stick to monetary issues personally.
