Showing Original Post only (View all)SURPRISE! Ron Paul Destroyed Mitt Romney In Massachusetts This Weekend [View all]
Business Insider:Ron Paul dealt a quiet, but embarrassing, blow to Republican rival Mitt Romney this weekend, scoring an impressive delegate victory on the presumptive nominee's home turf.
The Boston Globe reports today that Paul supporters filled more than half of the delegate slots at this weekend's Massachusetts Republican district caucuses, edging out at least 16 Romney delegates for a spot at the Republican National Convention.

Massachusetts wasn't the only state where Paul notched delegate victories this weekend. The campaign announced Sunday that Paul supporters will make up 74 percent of the delegates at the Louisiana GOP convention, putting Paul in prime position to pick up a sizable chunk of the state's national convention delegates. Paul supporters also reportedly made inroads at Alaska's GOP convention, overcoming staunch opposition from the state party Establishment.

Romney's campaign is looking more and more like Hilary's: a focus that assumed everything would be wrapped up by Super Tuesday, and no attention to details like caucus and convention procedures.

Very true, but it still makes me smile to see Romney lose his home state in the primary
