The roll call votes that you didn't hear at the RNC

Writes Steve Reed: "I wasted my time on the roll call, which just ended, so you wouldn't have to. Write an essay dissecting, say, - Das Gemeintum vor den Eigentum - ... oh, sorry, channeling my Middle European history there ... 'Country First.'

"Ron Paul received from Alaska, 5 votes; Oregon, 4; Washington, 4; West Virginia, 2. Total, 15. NONE OF THESE were even announced from the podium by the secretaries.

"Mitt Romney received, from Utah, 2 votes. THESE were announced.

"In the final total, it was announced that Romney had 2 votes and Paul had ... 5 votes. That is, preceding the inevitable Stalinist vote to make it falsely 'unanimous.'

"Nothing that really surprised me, but they couldn't even bow to the forms."

1. They did it well past prime time to avoid scrutiny.

2. I was amazed. I flipped on the TV before bed and there was the rollcall

Somewhere @11pm central. Really tried to hide it.

4. He seems to have a strong following and the Media isn't covering him

Not that it matters, the internet has taken over the job the media once did

5. I just posted in another thread that during a driving trip in Oregon this summer

we saw WAY more visible support for Ron Paul in rural areas than for McCain. In fact, I saw zero support for McCain, with the exception of a bumpersticker parked on a car in Crater Lake Nat'l Park.
