additional commentary by Timothy Horrigan; January 7, 2012
After
a strong showing in the Iowa caucuses, Ron Paul took a couple of
days
off and then flew up to New
Hampshire on Friday, January 6, 2012. One of his first
stops was at the University of New Hampshire. The campus is
totally deserted (except for the athletes) because it is the depth
of
the winter break. But 600 people of all ages showed up to
see
Dr. Paul. I was one of them: I was sitting on the extreme
right
side of the second row of the back section.
He was pleasant
and grandfatherly and mostly stuck to the issues where people from
the liberal Seacoast agree with him. It was a fairly short town
hall:
about 40 minutes after he started, Dr. Paul's eyes darkened, the
rhyhm of his voice became more staccato and he began to sound
prophet-like. His handler announced that there would be just
one more question and then he set up a receiving line for Paul's
fans. The receiving line took almost as much time as the
actual
speech.
Here is the CSPAN video of the event:
