Yes. The rest of the crowd was behind me filling up identical bleachers.

Those were both taken just a few minutes before Paul arrived. If filled up just a bit more. Since I was in the crowd, on the bleachers, I only took pictures of the other half of the crowd.

I was at the U of I speech earlier. He used all the same material, but none the less I am left amazed that so many voters would choose any other candidate. He speaks the truth and sensible policies. The building has a normal seating capacity of around 4200, but they added floor seats and...

Whats the status here? Id the supporter list outpacing the volunteer list? are there funds to get the supporter list called? and...will these questions keep the thread bumped for more than 10 minutes?

From the start I have found these graphs to be fascinating. I want very much to understand what it is that is happening here. The "flipping" algorithm fits well but I don't want to don a tinfoil hat and look like an idiot. If there is a reason that larger vote precincts would vote in a...

I don't know how devious we need to be, but I'm inclined to print out sheets that look just like whatever the opposition has with "the Louisiana Conservative Coalition" or whatever copy is present on them but with pro-paul delegates listed. i'd go to kinkos and have the paper matched and...

Was it the case last time that the LA caucus were somewhat like a primary in that people could come, vote for a slate, and leave? And the establishment handed out paper with a "family values" slate of delegates to vote for?

I am disinclined to vote for a Romney/Paul ticket, but I can't help but wonder exactly how powerful being president of the Senate really is. Would it be the case that the Senate president could literally stop unbalanced budgets and unconstitutional bills from being voted upon? I'm not well...

While I readily agree that if we could flip a switch and suddenly be using real currency and fair trade that nearly everyone outside the rulers would be better off. I don't see the transition as going very smoothly though. Rulers are reluctant to let go of power and I can see things heading...

We don't extract at a constant rate. In reality, we have, and are trying to continue to extract at an ever growing rate. If we attempted to increase extraction rate by just 1% per year we would double extraction rate within 70 years. This rate of increase would also result in that 200 year...

Peak Oil is a fact. It's simple math really. Now, I won't try to convince you we are at, or even near, the world's peak in oil production, but I will tell you that the math obviously shows that if oil is finite, or even if it is replenished at some rate that is slower than we use it, then we...
