Ron Paul at CNN/YouTube debate: plane banners, straw polls and more

The CNN/YouTube debate at St.Petersburg, Florida seemed like one big Ron Paul party hosted by supporters, at least to me in India. They flew 2 planes with his message and turned up in large numbers.

I came across this nice independent reporter called Veracifier who's made this video about the event.

I love this skysign video, with a plane going around with a message of support for Ron Paul. It reads something-"the Constitution" (I couldn't make out the first word).

There was a straw poll which Mitt Romney won with 893 votes to Ron Paul's 534. There was some controversy as you were allowed to buy multiple tickets and vote once for each ticket, which is why you find the guy in the below video asking each person "How many times did you vote?" (Read more about the controversy here.)
