An author and pundant blogs about overhearing a certain governor and senator bragging about rigging conventions against Ron Paul
http://dougwead.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/how-a-gop-conspiracy-continues-to-ch...This is just an astounding blog post and underscores exactly what we have been fighting with here in Nevada.
‘Last week I appeared on a number of television programs and ended up in “the green room” with a couple of GOP luminaries. One of the party’s most famous and powerful Senators and a former governor who came within a hair of becoming the vice president. You can guess which television network it was. We each had a book to promote.
Anyway, somehow they got into a discussion of Ron Paul and how his supporters had the nerve, the gall, the cheek to show up at “their” respective Republican State Conventions and practically take over. Each man described to the other how through parliamentary maneuver and outright theft they had recently blocked the Paulistas from embarrassing the GOP by winning “their” delegates to the national convention. They passed these stories back and forth with great gusto and laughter and genuine appreciation for the political skill of the other.’—- and the rest of the post just gets better
