Mitt Romney may have the money, the delegate lead and the momentum to become the Republican nominee for president, but the Ron Paul campaign keeps on rolling.
On Friday, it will roll into Pittsburgh.
Mr. Paul, the Texas congressman, will hold two events in Oakland Friday, a fundraiser at lunchtime and at 7 p.m. a free town hall meeting at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum.
As of this morning, an online ticketing site for the town hall at the 2,364-person hall was offering only spots on the waiting list.
Cameron Gray, a Pitt sophomore and vice president of the school's College Libertarians group, is lucky enough to already have a ticket.
And more than that, he still has faith in Ron Paul.
"It isn't over yet," he said. "People have been calling it for Romney before anything even started, before there were any polls."

this says it is waiting list only at the 2,364 hall, but when that happened at UCLA and Chico and Berkeley they moved to larger places, so keep signing up! Plus that is just for early entry. There are always people who don't show up.
It is a nice write up, the only issue is that the only people they interview are libertarians. It is as if they are pretending he isn't a Republican.
