C4L Snaps Up 800 Tickets for Southern Republican Leadership Conference

Another forum put forth the speculation that perhaps they didn't wait to invite him. Perhaps he waited to accept. Maybe there was the potential for a scheduling conflict, or maybe he was reluctant to appear because it is such a den of overtly hostile neo-conservatives.

I'm assuming they are planning to re release that "email" to explain his win.

Many of these type of events are funded by selling tickets to candidates or other sponsors who have money. Anyone who steps up and buys such tickets becomes a hero to the event for making it more affordable for attendees.

I have not read the above linked article, so maybe I'm missing something, but what's the problem?

The tickets may be re-sold, re-sold at a discount, and/or given away. I don't see any problem, here; it isn't a secret that this is how it's done, and straw polls are not accurate polls of anything but those in attendance.

for the anti-liberty, political establishment.

Anything coming from his mouth, pen, or website should be considered propaganda until proven otherwise.

He was on NPR's "Fresh Air" trying to spin the CPAC straw poll as a fluke and Ron Paul's supporters as fringe kooks and conspiracy loonies almost before the results were in.

This guy pretending to be a an objective journalist is a huge joke.

He is just trying to set up grounds to discount any apparent support for Ron Paul at SRLC.

You can see his strategy coming from a mile away.
