Ron Paul to continue Nevada delegate strategy despite RNC threat

Source: Reno Gazette-Journal

Supporters of presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul said Thursday that they will continue their strategy to elect as many Paul supporters as possible as delegates to the national convention during Saturday’s state GOP convention — despite written threats from the Republican National Committee.

The RNC, in a letter sent to state GOP Chairman Michael McDonald, threatened to bar the Nevada delegation from the national convention in Tampa, Fla., if it is stacked with supporters of Paul, R-Texas.

Yet, Carl Bunce, chairman of Paul’s campaign in Nevada, said he will continue his strategy of electing as many Paul supporters as possible to Nevada’s national delegation on Saturday at the state convention at John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Sparks.

Bunce noted that his campaign is only following the rules of the party by trying to pack the convention with Paul supporters. He noted former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign also could try to pack the campaign with his supporters and be within the rules.

If you want to influence the convention.

Fun fact, Dr. Paul is still running for President.
