You have to hand it to the Ron Paul supporters, they do have passion. Now, they are planning another convention in Minnesota, on the day John McCain gets the nod from the GOP:
The impetus for the mini convention of sorts was, in part, not getting a spot to speak at convention, but it “goes a lot deeper than just an invitation to speak,” Benton said.
“We have said from the beginning that we are going to have a presence in St. Paul,” Benton added. Paul “has said he’d be honored to have an invitation to speak. He’s not holding his breath; he’s not expecting one. … No invitation was extended. We’re fine with that, so we’re going to go ahead and have our own event.”
Paul’s supporters are really “looking to build a national organization that is going to run at a grassroots level, be organized at a precinct level, and to identify candidates to support,” Benton said, “real constitutionalist candidates.”
Details on the convention are still being worked out.
