That was my Philly meetup group there on Hardball. Props to all of my Philly peeps for the excellent job!

I was there that night, making myself accounted for and canvassing the crowd for the upcoming Ron Paul Rally in Philly on Nov. 10th. We owned that Hardball crowd. You would have thought RP was running for the Dem ticket with all of the supporters out there. By the wrap-up, most of the other supporters had left (they were off the clock, no pay for overtime!) We ended up being the last to leave the scene.
Oh, and Chris Matthews was laughing the whole time. You know you love RP, Chris. Say it loud, say it proud!
There was one incident. One of the MSNBC guys snatched one of our large banners later into the night, saying it was getting in the way of the shot (um, yeah). Our guys demanded their property back and a reporter and cameraman came and did a quick interview about what happened (NBC guys as well). I guess they're reporting AND making the news nowadays. Go figure.
Any other Philly guys who were there want to give some more info on this? I was engaged in a debate with a future Naval Academy cadet at the time, so I didn't get all of the details.
Is it really our fault that none of the other candidates can drum up enough enthusiasm to drown us out?
