He is totally full of shit, but he works a crowd pretty well.
I just spent an hour listening to him speak. All the same old lies, nothing really new. The only real revelation is that he seems moderate when you are in a crowd of Tea Party folk.
I would say roughly 200 people in the room. Maybe half to 3/4 of the way full. He took some questions at the end but I chickened out and didn't even try. There were lots of people all trying to get him to pay attention to them so I just let it go. The first question was an obvious plant. "What can we do to help you?". Oh sure, that was a real question. Then a few questions later some nut started with the whole end times biblical crap. He avoided it pretty well by just saying that he wasn't a prophet and he just focused on what was best for this nation ... yadda yadda yadda.
I'm glad I went. I thought it would be worse but once I tuned out everything he was saying and just payed attention to his style it was very educational.
If you get a chance to go to one you should consider it.
Edit to add: MHP just showed a short clip of the rally I was at where he tries to link Rmoney to OWS.
