He's a rockstar.

I was thinking the campaign was negligent by not getting bigger venues, but apparently not (see very beginning of video below),

I had goosebumps the entire time I watched this. LOVE the bagpiper!

its great we're turning out these huge crowds, but maybe the majority of supporters should stay outside and let undecideds go inside.

Promoting to front page!

Way to represent Washington!

Have y'all organized for delegates yet?

Texas is going to be a tough battle here. We STILL don't have an official primary election date.

[slamhead]

The meme that Ron Paul supporters are all young people has to be defeated.

lol... They caught my eye also. Awesome, indeed. :)

It's AMAZING to see so many people coming out in support, indeed the revolution continues! :D

Is it being pushed back because Ron is expected to do well there?

Anyways, keep speading liberty, it's a proportional-delegate-state, right? So keep spreading the word, the more people the better :D

We had reserved seats because we were part of the sign wave. Awesome seats, too! Five rows from the front, in the center. I got CLOSE to Dr. Paul but I have yet to shake his hand :( It was like a mob scene when he went to sign and take photos with people.

Santorum was reputedly considering secret service 'because of the mob scene' when he himself visited Seattle, but I suspect the tone was different.

LOL. QUITE different, I would imagine!

My gosh. I take back what I said about video making.That was powerful. Consciousness on display properly. Keep this up and change happens by default.

I used to live in Vancouver. I doubt there are any larger venues there. For that one has to cross the River into Portland. The largest venue in Vancouver is the Mall heading up toward Battleground and that would not be suitable for this sort of event.

Vancouver is a very conservative community, BTW, unlike Seattle which is uber-liberal. It is a very small town, though I enjoyed it there a lot and I did Portland.

Damn, now you got me missing the PNW.
