Personally, I like Ron Paul. I also liked Thompson, Hunter and Tancredo.
From what I hear, the Pro Life Pro Family slate wasn’t really all Thompsons, but it was put together by Buddy Romer about a week ago. The slate was designed, I guess, just to get local politican types, local party regulars their usual seat at the State Convention. McCain delegates appeared on the PLPF slate, as well as on the McCain slate, which helped to give McCain the first place finish (for now, before the Provisionals are counted in).
The slate was not put together by Roemer.
It was put together by Ross Little, Louisiana’s Republican National Committeeman.
Little is/was a Thompson supporter.
