3,000 attend Ron Paul town hall meeting at UH | khou.com Houston

Wow he surly has people turn out to see him give a speech but they seem way to lazy go vote in the primaries. Romney could not even get this many people to show up to any of his speeches even if payed everyone just more proof how much a lot people hate Romney so much. This a very good number of people that showed up to see Paul give a speech in his home area

they either are not registered voters (some of them) or they are not Republicans and many states do not allow cross over voting...This has absolutlely nothing to do with hating anyone.

3,000 people equals a miniscule minority of primary voters.

Did you see Romney's speech on Tuesday by any chance? HUGE turnout and an absolutely superb speech.

Why are Paul kooks so preoccupied by how many people attend his events? Aren't they aware that votes matter?
