Wasn’t there one of the Republican candidates in Nevada that all the Ron Paul folks were trying to destroy because she wouldn’t let them play games with the party rules? Was that Angle? If so, I wonder if they are still playing that game?
That was Sue Lowden.
Although some Nevada Ron Paul supporters have joined the campaign of former basketball player Danny Tarkanian, a win by Angle would be favorable by far to a win by self-financed multimillionaire and former GOP state chair Sue Lowden, who cheated Paul supporters out of impending victory at the state GOP convention by abruptly adjourning the convention and appointing her own set of central committee members.This is more detail:
As I pointed out in March, Lowden earned the ire of Nevada libertarian activists back in 2008 for what they see as her hijacking of the state party convention. John McCain had sewn up the GOP nomination before Nevada Republicans gathered, and Lowden had put in place a set of rules designed to rubber-stamp a slate of McCain delegates. But the convention was taken over by Ron Paul supporters, who launched an insurgency on the convention floor and succeeded in overturning rules.That's from the Wa Po.Lowden -- who was then the Nevada GOP chairwoman -- panicked. She and other state GOP leaders shut the convention down, promising to reconvene the delegates at a later date. But they never did. Instead, Lowden held a private conference call with state Republican leaders who secretly approved the slate of McCain delegates. The Libertarian activists -- many of whom now populate the Tea Party movement in Nevada -- never forgave her.
