"The cloud of dread and hopelessness that has hung over the California Republican Party convention was blown away at noon today as Republican Ron Paul supporters stormed the Hyatt in Burlingame and raised the atrium with cheers of wild enthusiasm."

Libertarian Party of Maine announced that Christopher Barron, co-founder of GOProud, and Andrew Ian Dodge, candidate for the U.S. Senate, will be speaking at their convention on March 31st, in Saco.

Facebook has exploded with “write-in Ron Paul” movements. However, write-ins are rarely counted and many states have banned write-ins.

Liberty activists are not likely to vote Republican if Ron Paul isn’t the nominee because they are morally and ideologically averse to just about everything the Republican Party stands for including endless wars, big spending, mountains of debt, corporate welfare queens and chronic assaults on civil liberties.

"...Every person seated was a Ron Paul Libertarian. The Convention was overrun by Ron Paul Libertarians. More than 2/3 of the delegates were Ron Paul Libertarians. When I mentioned that we were at a Republican Convention, they laughed out loud."

Ron Paul Storms To Victory In Minnesota Delegate Race

Supporters take full control of GOP in North Star State

Presidential candidate Ron Paul swept the board at the Minnesota State convention this past weekend, winning 12 of the 13 delegates to the Republican National Convention and effectively taking complete control of the party in the state.

Congressman Paul would have won all of the open delegate slots, for the fact that the 13th went to former presidential candidate and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, only after a Paul supporter withdrew his name from the ballot.

After Iowa, Republican Party finally figures out the fit has hit the shan, wants desperately not to get "Perot'd" by Ron Paul and his supporters. In fact, there are hints Republican operatives actually _understand_ Paul and his supporters as NOT "kooks." The key comment: "Paul agrees with us 85 percent of the time," said the operative, "and his supporters are earnest conservatives and libertarians who have no reason to support Obama in 2012 unless they're stepped on by our team."

"RNC is attempting to change the 5 state rule and de-credential the entire Maine delegation only 4 days before the Republican National Convention." After watching the fraud, coercion, and duplicity on the part of the GOP establishment this year, I have to wonder "why don't they just throw out their rule book and make Romney the candidate by decree?"

The dark horse issue for the 2012 election cycle is Ron Paul’s influence over the delegate count for the Republican Party. Most people do not realize that the Republican primary races do not determine the nominee in the various states. Delegates are chosen after the popular election in a separate vote at a state convention by party insiders. This process is rarely reported in the main stream media.

Minnesota will send 40 delegates to the Republican National Convention. Twenty of the 24 delegates based on congressional districts were awarded to Texas Rep. Ron Paul in selection processes that concluded this weekend.

Thirteen Minnesota delegates will be allocated based on the results of a statewide convention in May, according to Paul campaign senior adviser Doug Wead.
