voters were restricted to past delegates and alternates from Texas Republican conventions

No worries. I'd say he did quite well considering the limitations on who was allowed to vote. I think some need to be very concerned that 16% of party faithful voters voted for Ron Paul. And only two were ahead of him, a protectionist that no one's heard of and a candidate that no one's sure of what he stands for. Didn't see any of the media 'chosen' ahead of Dr. Paul

Perhaps not an outright win but a lot higher than many would like.

Are you, a Paul supporter, actually labeling Hunter a protectionist? WOW, the pot and the kettle metaphor wouldn’t begin to state the obvious audacity of that statement.

You’re right, everyone should worry Paul got 16% of the vote, but then 15% of the population is mentally ill and who is more deserving of their vote than the Pied Piper of the Loons?

"I'd say he did quite well considering . . "

Still, the cost was high. Trees died, my view was blocked, and a lot of good conservative Republicans were very irritated.

To have all those little angry men (easily 9/10 were male), who had never joined to advocate conservative causes, who had never FReeped a dem or abortion clinic in their lives, come out and boo our Vice President, to refuse to applaud our troops, is unforgivable. An dumb. Wrong crowd.

Maybe because Pauls is from Texas. He’s got his fans.
