VANCOUVER, WA (KPTV/AP) -
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul plans to hit three Washington state cities in a two-day campaign visit this week.

A rally in Vancouver is scheduled Thursday at 4 p.m. at the Hilton Vancouver on West 6th Street. Doors to the hotel's Grand Ballroom open to the public at 3 p.m.

Paul will also hold a King County rally Thursday evening at a Seatac airport hotel and a Friday town hall meeting for Tri-Cities residents in Richland.

That makes me happy. The only thing is, I don't understand the heavy emphasis on rallies, and the under emphasis of town hall Q&A sessions. Ron went pretty heavy on the Q&A in New Hampshire, and the result was he did very well in GOTV and overall support in a primary state, beating Huntsman soundly who was being pumped up by the media and who placed all his chips in that one state.

States where just rallies and town hall meetings with no Q&A and personal voter contact are had, do not seem to have as great of a track record. Rallies are nice every once in a while, don't get me wrong, but they seem to attract a lot of out-of-staters, ineligible voters, and whatnot.

From the article:

"Santorum is exploring Secret Service protection after a rowdy Monday night rally in Tacoma, Wash.

Santorum hosted an outdoor rally adjacent to the campsite of Tacoma, Wash., Occupy protesters. They chanted and yelled during most of the event. Two protesters were dragged away by police."

What a puss.

Amazing! Visiting a near by city leads to coverage in the local media.

Ergo, more visits + more cities = more coverage in local media !?!?

Yeah, I'd like to see 3 events per day. I imagine each one will take 3 hours so that's about all to expect. I'd prefer a room full of 100 undecideds than a room full of 1000 crazy pro Paul people. Don't get me wrong I think those rally's are important for our own moral and to show the local media that we've got numbers and passion. But each undecided voter we grab is a vote that the other guys DON'T get.

A flipped vote is worth TWO brand new votes.

The one in Idaho on Thursday said 'rally' in the headline but when you got to the story it said 'town hall style rally', so I'm hopeful.
