BOISE, Idaho – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul drew a crowd of 2,400 supporters in Moscow, Idaho today, demonstrating his popularity among voters in the crucial northern region of the Gem State.  The crowd gathered expressly for the 12-term Congressman from Texas as he spoke the University of Idaho Kibbie Dome on 1000 Stadium Drive in Moscow at 3:00 p.m. PST.  This followed the earlier town hall in Sandpoint, population 7,400, which drew 1,300 voters.

BOISE, Idaho – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul drew a crowd of 1,300 supporters in Sandpoint, Idaho today, demonstrating his popularity among voters in the crucial northern region of the Gem State.  The crowd gathered expressly for the 12-term Congressman from Texas as he spoke at the Bonner County Fairgrounds Main Exhibition Hall on 4203 North Boyer Road at 12:00 p.m. PST.  The town hall followed a tour of Quest Aircraft.
 
Notably, the massive crowd left the comfort of their homes in the town of 7,400 out of a county with only 41,000 residents.  This contrasts with less-inspiring candidates struggling with diminished interest, including small crowd sizes for Rick Santorum in much larger Coeur d’Alene, which neighbors Spokane.  The “leading” competing candidate drew a paltry 600 there on February 15^th, and turnout for the Paul town hall event also contrasts with turnout for a previous Sarah Palin book signing in Sandpoint – her hometown – that drew about 750.
 
Event organizers noted that Dr. Paul touted provisions of his path-breaking ‘Plan to Restore America’ and conversed with supporters and undecided Idaho voters.
