Repost - I want to point this out again

Ron Paul is planning a three day, 18,000 person counter event in Minneapolis during the Republican convention.

Think about the optics of that. 10,000+ Ron Paul supporters holding an alternate convention expressing dissatisfaction with their own nominee and party.

Can you imagine the press if this were Clinton supporters?

  • The RNC, however, is being held in St. Paul, so it's not as if they are right next to each other.
    But it does give the Convention (yet another) black eye.
    On top of that, the St. Paul Police are having a very hard time coming up with the ridiculous number of police that the GOP has demanded. Very few departments in other localities wish to sign on to the agreements that the SPPD requires.

  • Well, Minneapolis/St.Paul isn't exactly outside driving distance.

    And interesting point on the police.
