  After the speech, Nailpoint Payment came to do a concert, followed by a brief speech by SSB: SSB says things are “looking good” and encourages anyone who has not voted yet to get out and vote.

  We are here at the campaign straw poll tent. I believe we are the only facility here today that has air conditioning, which is another reason I love SSB. On the way in, we were greeted by lots of shouting Ron Paul supporters, who may be the most obnoxious people on earth. “Ron Paul, 100% constitution!” I missed the part where the
