And you know this how? And what does that really have to do with it being open to anyone? The Republican convention wasn't. In fact, the deligates had to sign an oath pledging to vote for Romney, even if they were supposed to be a deligate for Paul. If they refused, they were not allowed to attend and someone else was sent in their place. Guess you missed those articles. And 70 thousand is alot of people. He filled it in 08, whether he can do it now remains to be seen. And I wouldn't talk too much, the Republican convention building won't even hold 70 thousand people. Thats why they only invited 50 thousand.
