Ron Paul GOP delegates may not back Romney

The Paul campaign attorney told the Republican National Committee’s Committee on Contests a political battle could erupt at next week’s convention in Tampa, Fla., over its promised refusal to seat Paul delegates.

The RNC fears Paul’s supporters from at least six states will disrupt the convention, which is intended to coalesce support for Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, The Portland (Maine) Press Herald reported.

I don't think Ron Paul delegates should support Romney anyway. I mean what is the point? The RNC and the GOP are clearly trying to drive Ron Paul, his supporters and his ideas away from the party. Otherwise, they would not be working so hard to to the point of violating their own rules and changing them as they go along to keep his delegates and Ron Paul himself out of the convention.

Louisiana GOP certifies convention delegation, sans Ron Paul supporters

Doug Wead, a top adviser to Paul, said the party obviously has the power to have its will, but that, if this turns out to be a close election in November, the party and the Romney campaign may rue the day they gave any Ron Paul supporters, a very independent lot, reason to be less likely to vote for Romney. Better, he said, they should have brought them into the convention than find reasons to keep them out.

Despite what Mr. Villere says above, it is pretty clear that the so-called "Republican leaders" are NOT committed to uniting the party. If they have made any attempts at uniting the party (and I can't really see where they have) it has been an epic fail. - http://832e9ebb.tinylinks.co

A pro-Ron Paul slate of delegates from Maine to the Republican National Convention is being challenged, reflecting lingering bitterness over a chaotic state convention that saw Paul supporters take over the delegate-selection process.

If this were about "integrity of the process", Staples would be challenging Gov. LaPage's selection as well. This is clearly sour grapes from someone who lost her committee seat to a Ron Paul supporter. - http://09fda6f4.tinylinks.co
