ABC has a blog post noting that Ron Paul leads in spending on charter flights.
People around the country really want to meet Dr. Paul and hear him speak. He gets large crowds wherever he goes because actual, real people support him and will fight traffic jams to see him as they did in Buffalo recently. (A traffic jam caused by his supporters quickly filling up a large parking lot.)
Dr. Paul goes out of his way to accommodate his supporters. Hence, the many charter flights. The other candidates wish they had so many speaking invitations. The article correctly notes that charters allow Dr. Paul to spend time with his supporters one-on-one as he did in Buffalo in the hot sun.
Can Romney draw a crowd of non-hacks and non-lobbyists? Check it out ABC.
