Across the blogosphere, there are reports that Ron Paul’s supporters are planning a revolt at the Republican National Convention.
The LA Times reported yesterday
Paul’s presidential candidacy has been correctly dismissed all along in terms of winning the nomination. He was even excluded as irrelevant by Fox News from a nationally-televised GOP debate in New Hampshire.
But what’s been largely overlooked is Paul’s candidacy as a reflection of a powerful lingering dissatisfaction with the Arizona senator among the party’s most conservative conservatives.
Ron has refused to endorse John McCain. In the last three months, Paul’s forces have been fighting a series of guerrilla battles with party establishment officials at county and state conventions from Washington and Missouri to Maine and Mississippi. Their goal: to take control of local committees, boost their delegate totals and influence platform debates.
This could be interesting.
