The RNC roll call vote is the funniest thing I have ever seen!

Someone from the state delegation steps up to announces their state's vote. Then, no matter how many votes any other candidate gets, some blonde bobble-head doll bounces in and announces the Romney votes ... AND ONLY THE ROMNEY VOTES!

...that gave the Romney campaign the power to determine which delegates would be recognized.

It definitely had a weird, 'Alice in Wonderland' feeling to it.

Even those who aren't Paul supporters are angry at the disregard of Paul delegates. They say the GOP just lost the election by throwing grass-roots under the bus.
