So much for the Ron Paul revolution..
They screwed themselves (albeit, it would have been a change of probably five to ten delegates) in a couple of major ways. First, they ran their little counter convention so they lost a couple of voices. Second, they screwed themselves in Nevada by walking out of the convention, losing their votes. Finally, they where too dumb to know that in most states, if you get 5% of votes, you don't get a delegate, it is winner take all. It has been completely funny watching their live threads during the vote. I'm kind of glad they counter convention so all the short bus folks wouldn't be disturbing the adults.
To be fair, Paul had about 30-50 delegates from states like Idaho, Pennsylvania, etc. that were not officially counted 'cause Paul's name wasn't on the ballot.
What was funny, at least to me, was after Boehner said "let's make it unanimous" and asked "all opposed," you could easily hear some people scream "NO!" and he said McCain's nomination was unanimous.
Recount! Hanging chads! Stuffed ballet boxes! Oh, right, it was a voice vote. OK. Ah! Ventriloquists!
