Ron Paul supporters capture majority of Nevada’s national delegates
Source: Las Vegas Sun
Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul captured the majority of Nevadas national delegates early Sunday, overwhelming likely nominee Mitt Romney with an organized contingent who easily took control of the state convention.
Pauls supporters won 22 of the 25 national delegate slots up for election at the state convention in Sparks on Saturday. Romney won three.
Another three automatic delegates are expected to support Romney, meaning Romney will have six supporters in the delegation and Paul will have 22.
But while Paul loyalists will make up the majority of the Nevada delegation, Republican rules require the first vote at the national convention to reflect the results of the Feb. 4 caucus, which Romney easily won.

yup
not hardly. Mitt doesn't know the rules. Ron sure as hell does. down to the final T. Mitt just knows how to change the rules...or break them. Not how to actually follow the rules on the books..

(4,847 posts)I'm in nevada and my neighbor proudly displays his paul sign. However, I'm no paul fan-I have no wish to go back to the robber baron days; and since I'm a woman, it seems his libertarian views only apply to men. So, deregulating loving, privatizing loving, woman hating paul, I'm hoping you have no chance.

Only difference is marijuana, but other than that it's pretty much all there when you look further into Paul's organization. It's simply the Young Republicans, the Reagan generation on steroids.
