Nevada GOP in disarray, cuts convention short over lack of support for McCain

[Bluebear]

RENO -- The state Republican convention was called off Saturday evening without electing national delegates, prompting protests from a record crowd that included many supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul.

State Sen. Bob Beers, R-Las Vegas, the convention chairman, announced that the convention would recess indefinitely about 6 p.m., saying the party's contract with the Peppermill Hotel Casino had expired and the gathering would reconvene at a later date.

"We simply had hours and hours of work left to do," he said in an interview afterward.

It was the sudden and frustrating culmination of a long day that had pitted the party establishment that supports presumptive nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., against the insurgent Paul supporters...

4. Excellent news

I've spent a fair amount of time in Nevada.

There's definitely a big time Libertarian streak in that state, especially the northern part which includes Reno.

It's no surprise that the Paulists would be strong there.

Nevada may well go blue this time.

9. I hate Ron Paul, but I really hope The Paultards keep this stuff up much longer.

I really want to see Ron Paul carry at least one state, just to create disarray within the Repukes.
