Marching into Tampa

Writes Charles:



I have to say, even though Santorum won the straw poll in our caucus last night (with Ron taking a strong second), the caucus itself was a very uplifting experience. They opened the night by giving anyone the chance to give a brief stump speech for their candidate. Overwhelmingly, most of the speeches given were in favor of Ron Paul. Apparently few others were enthusiastic enough about their candidate to be bothered to get up and stump for them. 
What made me even happier was the fact that most of the people giving these speeches were 40+ years old.  My favorite was given by a Vietnam war vet, who gave a powerful and emotional speech about how he was so sick of wars, so sick of the killing, and so sick of the ignorant hatred towards people in these foreign lands who, after all, have lives and families just like the rest of us. He received a good round of applause, even among many who weren't Paul supporters.
Oh, and the best part of the night: I became a delegate...so I guess that makes at least two anarchists who will be marching into Mordor.
