...here in Augusta where I live, the paulista staged a coup, got their own elected as the convention officers and got 15 out of 24 delegates to their convention in Tampa.

The bain romney supporters tried to doctor the ballots by putting romney delegates on as though they were paul delegates.

Apparently, many of little ricky santorum's supporters WERE going to support delegates pledged to bain romney until the state party chair sent out a venomous message and the little ricky supporters went to paul to thumb their noses at the chaiman.

Also, apparently dirty tricks and proceedural fights abounded from both sides and this rethug state convention was somewhat reminiscent of the catastrophic 1972 Democratic convention.

BTW, according to the rethugs, they came out of the convention united and "committed" to a bain romney victory. Yeah.

PEACE!
