Paulites on the Move

Looks like the Ron Paul campaign has been hard at work collecting delegates behind the scenes. It seems they have been out-organizing the GOP establishment at the state conventions.
Rep. Ron Paul, a Republican with a libertarian’s heart, followed his
second-place finish in Nevada’s January presidential caucus by out-organizing
the state’s Republican establishment. In the process, the Paulites embarrassed
the campaign of Arizona Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for
president.
They seemed to make up more than half of the 1,300 or so state
delegates to the convention. They won a key procedural vote on the rules, and
their boisterous presence created significant delays, causing the convention
chairman, Bob Beers, a state senator from Las Vegas, to recess the convention
without selecting delegates to the national convention. The state convention is
to resume at a later date.
Paul supporters occasionally shouted down the
chairman, then rocked the convention with noise when Paul, their diminutive
doctor icon, appeared to rally them.

Just goes to show how many conservatives are fed-up with the current GOP.

Go Ron Paul.
