The campaign of presumptive presidential nominee John McCain continues to inspire supporters… of Ron Paul:
RENO, Nev. (AP)  Outmaneuvered by raucous Ron Paul supporters, Nevada Republican Party leaders abruptly shut down their state convention and now must resume the event to complete a list of 31 delegates to the GOP national convention.
Outnumbered supporters of expected Republican presidential nominee John McCain faced off Saturday against well-organized Paul supporters. A large share of the more than 1,300 state convention delegates enabled Paul supporters to get a rule change positioning them for more national convention delegate slots than expected.
There have been similar scenes playing out in Alaska, Florida, Missouri and Minnesota, Texas and Washington. The Politico notes the Paulians are being rather modest:
While they’ll likely be stymied from having much impact on the platform, Paul supporters are hopeful their guy will secure a speaking slot  and hint that they may stage a visible distraction to McCain and the GOP if their request is not fulfilled.
McCain will deserve it if he unable to control the state conventions or uninterested in doing so. The establishment media will flock to any sign of controversy.
that is exactly wat ruffini said was going to happen.
Karl, I now christen thee persona grata to the establishment media by rote of flocking.
Saw the soft interview on PBS with Reverend Wright. This guy is a joke and the less we hear from him the better. The more he speaks the worse it will be for Obama. All the debates have been question and answer sessions – there’s no intelligent discussion.
Doesn’t matter Dems or Republicans – a politician is a politician. They all have the Beltway out-of-touch mentality despite their protestations that they are for the common citizen. They could all CARE LESS about you and me – they are saying anything to get elected. Face it, Americans are uneducated, fat, unpatriotic and basically lazy. Take a walk around your local mall to see what a schlocky mess this country has turned into. Yikes!

i have wright-fatigue.
my favorite foxnews is all wright alla time…i think i must switch to CNN
fox just had jackie mason denouncing wright.
lame.
the poor guy cudn’t remember wat theatre he was playing in.
:(
dr. pournelle states the real problem.
unfortunately we are in the “pander phase” of the democratic run-off. neither obama or clinton can say boo about immigration without losing hispanic votes.
they both have to be christian.
they both have to pander to the autism parents.
so does mccain have to be christian, have to pander to the autism parents….but he is still behind both of them in the poll averages.
once barack gets the nom, he may come with an immigration position, or he may stay mum to help beat mccain with the hispanic vote.
we are doing this to ourselves.
:(
when dr. pournelle says left, he means the left side of the Bell curve.
the IQ gap.
oh great.
captain stupid says the Bell Curve is psuedoscience. IQ-baiting, without a doubt.
hmmm…captain stupid versus dr. pournelle…..i wonder who will win?
In case you haven’t noticed, nishi, the one person doing his level best to keep the Reverend Wright in the sound bite crosshairs of the media whores is …
Reverend Wright!
What is a presidential candidate to do when his beloved “mentor” and “spiritual advisor” is doing all that he can to throw Obama under the bus to satisfy his own ego?
I pick crying.
yup, i agree
wright is an egomaniac.
but captain stupid is….well….definitely on the leftside of the Bell Curve.
back on topic….ruffini is right.
mccain has zero grassroots support.
this will be a problem right up thru the convention.
not just with paul, but with huckabee.
can we agree handsomemormonguy is a nonstarter post the mormon polygamy ranch?
nishi – maybe the voices in your head can agree on something, but that does not mean the real world is willing to agree with you.
Yawn. The nishidiot must be off her meds again.
Face it, Americans are uneducated, fat, unpatriotic and basically lazy.
Ouch. I hear about it from all the right/left angles. But from my personal experience, quite contrary, from the people I meet everyday that image is substantially better and more positive..
…and last time I checked, grass roots don’t get to vote.
McCain supporters, despite the NV proceedings clearly designed to broker their candidate back into the majority, shouldn’t be “controlling” much of anything (just as Paulians surely cannot be given the right by the current political climate to do so either.) The few sanitized reports to trickle out of these proceedings naturally do not jive with eyewitness accounts — I know two delegates myself — although reading between media lines sheds light on what actually happened.
Heh. Good old dissent-crushing. And crafting the message after trying to craft the outcome. Media politics, anyone?
The establishment media has all but ignored this inconvenient little event, at least concerning any objective reporting. Probably because there’s nobody stepping up and saying ‘McCain’s our guy’.
Top NV Republicans broke a number of bylaws and then tried to shut down proceedings. Some delegates were virtually threatened.

McCain didn’t even bother to show up at the Reno convention. After the debates, doddering old fool McCain is afraid to be in the same room with Paul.
