RP’s Area 51 caucus will surely be there. Also, a few “Comet jockies” will whoop it up with the Treckies.
* Ron Paul (will have a tin foil tent at the event)
Paul spent some $31,000 for his location on the grounds at the bidding process. The next highest was at $18,000. I think tickets are $30 each to get in and have the right to vote in the straw poll. Paul will spend a few thousand more on tickets to give to supporters. You must be 18 years old by election day November 2012 and a resident of Iowa in order to vote in the straw poll.
