Someone handing out fake liberty slate list of delegates

ClaimIng Ron Paul grassroots

They did a hilariously poor job of faking a Ron Paul ballot in Nevada with the "Protect us from each other" slogan. I'm still lol'ing.

Was just surfing around, while listening to the feed and saw this on demo underground. I thought it was interesting. Might want to read, while the "feed" is boring"

Ron Paul...
well last night I got to cover the rally. It did answer one critical question for me from a political science point of view. The man haz it... the charisma that is. He exudes it from the stage.

So I got to interview a few of his followers, and scored an interview with a Republican Candidate for Senate, who is well aware of California's Prop 14, he needs to come in second place to challenge Dianne Feinstein in November. Only two top geters are in the November ballot regardless of party. (Watch that because it could be real fun with a couple of hot races)

Anyway, we in the media gaggle started comparing notes...

Followers will not vote for ANYBODY BUT RON PAUL. In November, they either stay home, or write him in. I did probe a couple times. Nope. They will not vote for that RINO, Romney... and of course, echo from Occupy, and they do have a point, like Occupy, the media, especially the national media, has mostly ignored Ron Paul, even when he was polling relatively well.

As to his son, not all know about Rand...

But Paul is convinced he is building a movement and that it is finally taking off.

As to number of attendees... it surprised me this late in the primary season. What about five thousand?

Oh let me add, some were Dems who were so disappointed with Obama it is not even funny.

In fact as Romney is concerned, there was a moment of tension, where some started screaming FUCK ROMNEY, and one pointed out, that they might have to vote for him in November. I was looking for a quick egress and the cops were on the radio.

And yes, he was counter protested by about fifty folks... now that takes guts. Oh and nobody was cited for having big sticks on their signs, a local ordinance that is rarely enforced.

Now I need to write my two stories on this... but there you have it...

Save the Fuck you know what... this is a report, that is all...
