(1,277 posts)1. His reception in the hall was surprising.
Not in the same universe as the hysteria for Palin. He's a very boring speaker as well.

Ron Paul's delegates are furious. I've seen lots of crossed arms, too, not a great sign in people who are supposedly backing every word you say. Oh, and golf clapping. There's been plenty of golf clapping.
