Yes, this is possible, but would'nt this "threat" be diminished by the "Red States" sending "conservatives" to the convention? Opinions?
By the "Red States" are you referring to Republicans?
I believe the Red States would be fighting the Blue States to see who could inflict the most damage to individual rights.
Then there would be one lone Republican (Ron Paul) screaming at the top of his lungs for everyone to stop. But the others would be too self-absorbed to listen!
