Thousands Flock To See GOP Candidate (VIDEO) KVEW TV

GOP Candidate Ron Paul visited the Tri Cities Friday, holding a brief Townhall meeting at the Richland Red Lion Hotel.

The crowd had to be moved to the outside because the maximum occupancy allowances were reached, and Richland fire officials had many move outside the hotel.  Paul addressed the inside and outside crowds, and reiterated his positions on a variety of issues.   He is the first Presidential candidate to visit the Tri-Cities, and the first in many years.   Depending upon sources, various estimates put the crowd at between 1,500 and 2,000 people.   BIG thanks to our friends at KVEW 42 ABC for their assistance and help with video.   See more at their website as well.
