Washington Times reporter Ralph Z. Hallow writes:

Mr. Paul has refused to endorse Mr. McCain, and Mr. McCain's operatives have refused to let him address the Republican National Convention.

As a result, Mr. Paul decided to hold a rally of his own Tuesday billed as the "Campaign for Liberty." Initially set to be held at the University of Minnesota's 11,000-seat Williams Arena, it has been moved to the far-larger Target Center in Minneapolis. Mr. Paul said in an interview that he expects to attract up to 18,000 people.

Meanwhile, Ted Goddard, Political Wire, writes:

McCain Attracts Biggest Crowd Yet
Jonathan Martin notes that Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin drew a crowd of 17,000 to his rally in Missouri.
What does this tell you something about McCain and Ron Paul?

I encourage Rep Paul and former Rep Barr
By Kevlar Liberal Sep 2nd 2008 at 1:33 pm MDT (Updated Sep 2nd 2008 at 1:33 pm MDT)
...to draw in as many "Liberty-supporting voters" as they can. The more people flock to this event, the less support McCain can draw from the usual GOP types.
