ok come on in and read something interesting
small confession
last year i subscribed to the ron paul newsletter
just wanted to keep an eye on him
to me paul is the first guy kucinich sees when he looks left and kucinich is the first guy paul sees when he looks to the right
so contrasting the view politically from both these "fringe" candidates is amusing and interesting to me
the newsletters are full of standard boilerplate stuff

what is interesting is the mail from those paul shares his email lists with
paul never dropped in the GOP primary and garnered delegates right to the end
i have received several emails from paul connected groups that plan to stage some form of action during voting at the convention

when they call the roll many delegates will be released from mittens and huckleberry
both were dumped after being used during VP selection
huckleberry earlier this year admitted during one primary he was working with pauls people instigating a move against mittens that was blamed on mccain

there is something going on over at that convention and i am watching to see if anything i have heard bears any fruit

2. I can see Paul trying to take the convention
He's got a ton of supporters around here who are enthusiastic about him.

6. That would be interesting
However, Gustav as the new POW mantra is not :puke:

I should start counting how often that is used.
