Looks like some Ron Paul supporters are getting into the McCain/GOP ointment in Nevada.
After a super-majority of Ron Paul supporters captured control of the Republican state convention Saturday, state party officials abruptly canceled the event without electing delegates to the national convention.
Early in the day, state delegates supporting Paul’s continued pursuit of the Republican nomination voted through a rules change that forced the state party to abandon its preset ballot of potential national convention delegates and open up the race to the rest of the state delegates.
Bummer to interrupt the coronation. Why bother with even the pretense of process?
If the mob understood that they really don’t have a choice, they might revolt!
Would you like a hamburger and fries, or sliced potato and a chopped beef sandwich?
The same exact thing will happen at the state Republican Convention in Indy this summer.
There is generally very little interest in being a Republican delegate to these things. So a group of motivated individuals, like Ron Paul supporters, can easily become delegate by just showing a little interest to a county chair.
