GOP candidate Ron Paul hits Tri-Cities - Northwest McClatchy - Michelle Dupler, Bellingham Herald:
February 18, 2012 - "The reaction Paul's appearance elicited from supporters on Friday was more like a rock star than a politician. About 1,500 people turned out at the hotel to see him.... At one point, a fire marshal instructed the campaign to thin out the crowd in the ballroom so people could get through the aisles in case of an emergency.
"For the hour leading up to his taking the stage, the crowd chanted his name and campaign slogans like 'End the Fed' -- prompting Paul himself later to joke, 'You're stealing my lines now.'
"In Richland on Friday, a blue jeans-clad Paul spoke for about 45 minutes on a central theme of returning to the rights and principles in the U.S. Constitution, which he said he believes is the best way to ensure freedom, peace and prosperity for Americans.
He stopped to give a shortened version of his speech to the people outside before leaving for events in Idaho and Spokane later in the day."
