Is Ron Paul Planning Convention Trouble for Romney
On several blogs and newspapers, there has been much written about Ron Paul’s not-so-stealthy accumulation of convention delegates may cause some embarrassment for Mitt Romney. The Fix writes:
Yet at state conventions around the country, Paul supporters are increasing the candidate’s support by taking over state party committees and educating fellow Paul fans in arcane rules.
While at many conventions Romney backers are split between numerous would-be delegates, Paul supporters are showing up in droves and voting with discipline for a delegate slate.
With a plurality of delegates from five states, Paul supporters could nominate him from the convention floor — the goal of at least some Paul supporters.
They could put his name in nomination, not nominate him.
Dear FSM, please make Ron Paul’s crazy plans work out.
I would love for Paul to get a floor speech and use it as a chance to announce that he will be the Libertarian Party candidate.
I’m hoping for maximum Ron Paul disruption, it serves the GOP right and makes me laugh.
I hope so!! Let the games begin.
Salon has a good article on this as well.
