This has the potential to be awesome. A Ron Paul video contest that lets the winning video be shown during the Rep. CNN/You Tube debates on November 28th.

Crowds can be pretty deceptive. A crowd of 1000 is fairly small as tightly packed as that one is. It would only be a block 32 people on a side. That crowd is significantly larger than that.

A crowd of 4000 is only a block 63 people on a side. If you watch the video, the crowd looks over 30 people deep in every direction as the guy pans. That's about 3000 right there. Assuming people fill in the corners of a rectangular area, and you've got your ~4000.

Not that the exact numbers matter. I just think that 1000 is definitely a significant underestimate, by a factor of a few.

It's more like OCD. I've been estimating crowd sizes and counting floor tiles for years. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

What are the repercussions for voting for a different delegate than you listed on your delegate application?

I ask b/c I live in Arkansas and I have a strong feeling that Dr. Paul wont carry the necessary 10% of the GOP primary in the state in order to send Paul delegates to the convention.

Hahaha. Your brain is like a border collie who doesn't get enough exercise and does laps around the coffee table. You were bred to think!

Yeah, that's a pretty badass idea. Just straight up becoming a delegate and directly deciding to pick Ron Paul that way. I thought I was doing a lot just trying to become a Republican precinct person so I could vote for Ron Paul in the closed state caucus. If I do that, my vote will be worth about 300x that of a typical primary voter, but if you're a delegate, your vote's worth 150x what mine's worth.

Kinda funny how screwed up our system is that way.
