IMHO the Ron Paul voters stayed home. Gov Palin advised Gov Romney when he won the nomination to respect the RR supporters and bring them back into the fold. During convention the GOP establishment by voice vote changed the party rules to erect more barriers for non establishment candidates. Move was aimed at the growing Ron Paul faction in the GOP. State GOP replaced RR delegates after they won some of the disricts during the primaries. The GOP do not want any RR visible and will destroy any beachhead in their party that will offend Wall Street bankers and proponents fo the Fed Reserve. Money talks BS walks.
You cult people are funny, give the Paul nonsense a rest, he is retiring after milking you guys of millions over the last 30 years.
