Wow I am listening to the podcast and it sounds intense

I see the campaign has released their own version, either way that is great.

Ron Paul Rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota Draws 4,000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 4, 2008


ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Today, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul addressed a crowd of approximately 4,000 veterans, students and supporters at the Northrup Hall on the University of Minnesota campus.

The large crowd of over 4,200 is more than Hillary drew only a few days ago in the same venue, which was reportedly only 3,800.

“Dr. Paul’s message of freedom, peace and prosperity is resonating with voters here in Minnesota,” said Marianne Stebbins, Ron Paul 2008 state coordinator in Minnesota. “We are planning on a surprisingly strong finish here in the Land of a 10,000 Lakes.”

My sister was there, states the place seats 4800 and was packed past that. She had to go to the nosebleed section to get a seat. Estimated 5- 6 thousand?

She doesn't agree with DRP's foreign policy stance but is going to caucus for him tonight in Minnesota FOR ME she says

Thank goodness I remembered her birthday yesterday, huh?

Freedom is not free. Good for you for getting her to vote.

I'd like to take a quick second and say, does anyone really think Ron would have guessed in his wildest dreams one year ago today that he would be standing at the podium with THOUSANDS of people cheering him on.

Simply AMAZING.
