Don't look now, but Ron Paul has just secured 30 of 36 delegates in Minnesota. Although he won only four counties and finished 18% behind Rick Santorum, the February 7 caucus winner, superior organization has enabled him to stuff the delegate rolls with committed Paulistas.
This follows his February 4 narrow caucus loss in Maine, where Paul's delegates still managed to secure 21 of 22 committed delegates.

“Paul’s folks are trying to give the Convention an opportunity to select a REAL CANDIDATE instead of this pale imitation the Mittbots and GOP-e thinks is all we deserve.”
If that were the case, I’d say okay. But RP thinks the only “real candidate” is himself - and he’s said as much many times. He also knows (and has said) that he won’t win but is still in this to “prove a point”. He played a large role in savaging all the other candidates (including some good conservatives), paving the way for Mittens.
I see that as betraying our country.
at this moment following that same logic you’d have to call Romney an arch traitor
I’d be happy if he just pulled enough to keep the nomination out of Romney’s camp and force a brokered convention.
