Ron Paul delegates mounting floor fight over new rules

WASHINGTON — Rep. Ron Paul’s delegates are trying to mount a floor fight over new GOP rules designed to limit the ability of insurgent presidential candidates to amass delegates to future Republican conventions.

They are getting help from other delegates, though it is unclear whether they can rally enough support to challenge the rules on the floor of the convention Tuesday.

Mitt Romney, the party’s presumptive nominee, has plenty of delegates to win any floor fight. But the dispute could provide an unwanted distraction for party leaders who would rather focus on promoting Romney and defeating President Barack Obama.

“It’s so heavily scripted. This is not the forum in they want to air the proverbial dirty laundry,” said Juliette Jordal, a Paul delegate from Minnesota. http://www.freep.com/article/20120827/NEWS15/120827100/Ron-Paul-delegates-mounting-floor-fight-over-new-rules

4. They shouldn't. The GOP establishment seems to be

putting the screws on their own constituency; insulating themselves from them and removing what little influence the voters actually have.

6. I think that the Johnson Campaign is heavily courting them. nt
