Ronstock 08!

That’s what they are calling it — next week’s rally by Ron Paul (failed Presidential candidate) supporters meeting across the river from the RNC St. Paul event.

So have any of you heard about this? They’ve sold 9800 tickets to this thing and today is the first I’ve heard of it. If this had been 9800 Hillary supporters rallying in Boulder, this would have replaced huge chunks of the coverage of the DNC convention. And the news organizations would be following some group of these folks for the rest of the political season, with primo seats at the talking head desks to continue to air their grievances. (And be sure to email your network and cable news providers to specifically ask for this coverage now!)
