Ron Paul is speaking now. You can listen on RonPaulRadio.com

Jennifer says that Ron Paul is at the Ron Paul tent now.

Des Moines Register:

At 9 a.m., the candidate with the loudest presence was Ron Paul, a U.S. representative from Texas.

Supporters stood on street corners, enthusiastically waving and holding up signs. At least 10 cars in the parking lot were decorated with giant “Ron Paul” signs. A guy in a minivan broadcasting Paul’s name drove around the Hilton lots honking his horn.

Yard signs, mostly for Paul, lined the highway interchange on Interstate Highway 35 at Ames, but a law enforcement officer in a squad car was yanking out the signs just before 9 a.m.

Real Clear Politics “The Paul folks are leading the sign wars on the way to campus. Once here, their volunteers easily outnumber volunteers for every other campaign (though it’s only 9am). Chants of “Ron Paul” are audible from hundreds of yards away.”
