So what's the word on this Bob Jones University appearance?

This got Bush alot of bad attention in 2000, but I think the attention could be a good thing for Paul. He needs to court the evangelicals in the state. I wonder if Paul was the only candidate invited there. Bob Jones III endorsed Romney awhile back if I recall.

I'd be interested in knowing about this myself

From the trenches

Let me tell you the fight for SC is getting dirty. The smear campaigns have been in full swing and there are several evangelical conventions going on this week in SC. RP already gets plastered as an anti -semite( not true of course) and he is catholic, so neither of the things GB got peppered for in 2000 will apply to Dr. Paul.
We in SC are probably only second to Louisiana for our use of back room politics. I wish I could say more, but even the volunteers are waging our own war as little splinter cells are running little misinformation campaigns (On all sides). DR .Paul is appearing about five times tomorrow. Everyone is busting our hump here and I have a good feeling SC will do the campaign proud...

Ron Paul and S.C.

uh, Ron Paul is Baptist, he goes to my church in Lake Jackson....and he's definitley not anti-semitic, he believes that Isreal can take care of itself just fine, so we should not tell them how to manage their affairs. He also believes that we should not be giving their Arab neighbors 3 times the amt of funding as well.

Paul campaign: Keep it subtle

By Ken Herman | Wednesday, January 16, 2008, 09:52 PM

Here’s a curiosity that turned up on the Thursday schedule distributed Wednesday night by Ron Paul’s campaign. The good doctor will speak at 5 p.m. to students, faculty and staff at Bob Jones University.

The curious part would be this note on the schedule sent to reporters. Bold type added by Window on Washington for emphasis.

For Press: This is a significant event and needs to be billed as follows: “Dr. Ron Paul will be addressing members Bob Jones University students, faculty, and staff under the sponsorship of Dr. Brenda Ludwig of the Division of Nursing in Straton Hall, with overflow in Straton Hall II.” The press should be aware that no video cameras will be allowed in the hall but will be allowed to capture Ron and students coming in and exiting Straton Hall. It should also subtly be conveyed that Dr. Ron Paul will be the only Presidential Candidate to speak at Bob Jones University (although this fact does not translate into an endorsement in any way, shape, or form).
