I'm going to the one Monday night in Minneapolis. Hope it's not too crowded (I hate crowds). I've never seen the good Doctor in person. I'm excited.

I was at the one tonight and they said they expect it to have twice as many people, but the venue is much larger as well. I'm hoping that it's packed, because it shows a lot of enthusiasm which translates to people who get out and caucus.

Congrats on seeing him for the first time in person! Get there early so you not only get a good seat, but don't have to deal with the crowds as much.

[carterm]

tell them to vote.

I tried to go but was turned away at the front gate. There were lots of cars that were lined up to get into the campus that were turned away because it was full.

Good thing I didn't drive 6 hours or so from Milwaukee to see him. Wisconsin isn't til April and Illinois isn't until late March, so the ability for me to see Ron Paul in person is dwindling.

Glad that structure was engineered well, that 2nd level is very close to being overloaded.

CNN did a live broadcast from there. It was on TV

lets just hope they all go vote.

THIS.

Pictures of large events mean NOTHING at this point.

Ron had the biggest crowds in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, and look at what happened. Nothing higher than second and poll numbers lower than everyone was expecting and seeing days and weeks before.

[FSP-Rebel]

The staff and volunteers need to be working over the crowd as they come in and leave about when and where to vote. Ron, himself, needs to make a point of stressing how important it is that they all turn out and caucus because this is why he is there. Educating folks with no action on their behalf doesn't spell success. It's almost to the point of shaming people into doing what they're supposed to be doing and I'm not even sure that would be beneficial. Paul supporters in caucus states need to realize how lucky they are and how much more valuable their vote is than someone like me in a primary state that doesn't have the NH liberty thing going for it.
