The most interesting thing that happened in the first hours of the Nevada State Republican Convention was that some folks in the Romney camp wore Ron Paul t-shirts and tried to distribute a phony slate of candidates for Nevada's delegation to the national convention.
The list included some Paul
supporters but hidden among the Paul supporters were obvious Romney
supporters like Patty Cafferata, Mendy Elliott and Lucinda “Cindy”
Nixon.
The Romney camp was busted when a Ron Paul supporter grabbed the microphone and warned the convention floor of the bogus slate.
Some of the people who were handing out the phony slate were detained by security officers.
“A
couple of people have been detained outside and they were wearing Ron
Paul gear, even though they were not part of our campaign,” said Rachel
Stephens, a Paul campaign spokeswoman from Las Vegas. “I don’t care if
Mitt Romney wins legitimately but I would have a problem if he wins
because he has fake ballots to misinform voters.” http://www.rgj.com/section/blogs01?plckController=Blog&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&U=063a1ff4-7a74-4c66-8976-85b765479560&plckPostId=Blog:063a1ff4-7a74-4c66-8976-85b765479560Post:e477e5ee-5d1e-4c6e-9208-fa6ce4e44908&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest
Why would the Romney campaign do something so stupid. It's not like there is any doubt who the candidate for the GOP is. And so what if there is an extra Ron Paul delegate, he is completely irrelevant.
The race president is for the GOP to lose and they are certainly doing a good of screwing things up and it is only early May.
