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

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

    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.

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

    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
    There is enormous inertia — a tyranny of the status quo — in private and especially governmental arrangements. Only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable

    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.

    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.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
