The Ron Paul campaign reported that the tennis stadium at UCLA holds 10,000 and that their guy filled the place to capacity. Neither fact is true, but they still had a healthy crowd of about 5,000 for Wednesday night's rally. Not necessarily or even mainly UCLA students; it was a rally of Youth for Ron Paul. Video from the Daily Bruin.
