Maverick GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has booked an arena in Minneapolis for a "mini-convention" that could steal some of John McCain's thunder just days before he accepts the Republican nomination.
A Paul campaign aide said the Texas congressman hopes to pack about 11,000 supporters into the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota on Sept. 2, which coincides with the second day of the Republican National Convention at the Xcel Energy Center in neighboring St. Paul.

Paul, 72, will announce details for the rally Thursday at the start of the Texas Republican Convention in Houston.

The campaign hopes the daylong event will "send a message to the Republican Party," Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton tells the Tribune-Review.

Linky.

I thought they were going to storm the convention...

Or are they starting there and arming themselves with automatic machine guns and nuclear weapons (For the self defense of Libertarians)?
 
"The buzz we get from supporters is that they are very eager to come to St. Paul and very eager to send a strong message."
 
That's all the GOP needs is for a white supremacist freak show to go on claiming to be the real convention.

Please don't be a tease. ;)

Why would Ron Paul pact any place at all? Is he really a CT? :eek: I thought he wasn't enamoured of troofers.
 
With all the groups who applied for permits to protest in St. Paul does Rep. Paul really think that he will get any attention in Minneapolis.

BTW Parking around William's arena sucks, so they should have a lot of fun.

Not when you're a member of a fraternity that's right across the street it's not! :D

When I lived there I could see Williams from my room, and on a windy day could have hit it with a beer bottle.

edit: bah, I'm thinking of Mariucci. Regardless, Williams is just as close...

This could be the biggest comedy hit that takes place in Minneapolis since "The Mary Tyler Moore show".

I would bet that a lot of Paulbots screamed "Right On!" when they first heard the tapes of Mel's drunken "the Jews Are Behind All The Wars" rant right before he was hauled off to jail for drunk driving.

Please provide evidence for your assertion or retract your libelous accusation.
 
Do you know the difference between expressing an opinion and stating a fact? I learned about it back in third grade. Have you reached that level yet or do they wait until junior high school for that nowadays?
