Ron Paul Campaign and Supporters Ready for Dueling Events in Tampa | Sunshine State News

Ron Paul Campaign and Supporters Ready for Dueling Events in Tampa | Sunshine State News - Kevin Derby:

June 30, 2012 - "U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, plans to end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination with an event ... on Sunday, Aug. 26, at the University of South Florida’s Sun Dome in Tampa.... The Paul campaign labeled the event a 'major rally' that will bring out “thousands of supporters" to the Sun Dome, which holds 11,000 seats.

"Paul’s event conflicts with the Paul Festival, an event held by supporters of the candidate at the Florida State Fairgrounds running from Friday, Aug. 24, through the weekend, featuring speakers – including Libertarian Party presidential nominee former Gov. Gary Johnson of New Mexico – and entertainment. While Paul has been invited by organizers of the Paul Festival to attend the event, he has not committed to it."

"While the maverick Texas congressman shows no signs of attending the Paul Festival, organizers ... show no signs of slowing down their preparations to hold it. On Friday, the team behind the Paul Festival announced that noted author and businessman Peter Schiff, who ran in the Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010, will be speaking at the event."
