TAMPA, Fla. — One of the biggest hits at Ron Paul's pre-convention rally in Tampa was the speech of Maine Republican National committeewoman Ashley Ryan, elected earlier this year at a contentious Maine state convention. Ryan spoke to the crowd about the fact that her delegates weren't seated last week.
"The credential committee used faulty logic to rule against my state’s duly elected delegates," Ryan said. She called the actions taken by the rules committee "devastating." The crowd went wild.
Ryan, 21, is a math major at the University of Southern Maine. She's also the new face of the Paul insurgency, and a — largely accurate — sense among Paul's young supporters that obscure party rules have been used by Establishment insiders to deny them the convention presence they thought that — through their own use of party rules and processes — they'd won.
Paul World's hopes now ride on Ryan, who said Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton called her after she was elected and told her, "Thank you so much, you've been such a big moral victory for the office, our spirits have been lifted."
"I am still on an adrenaline rush this high," Ryan said after her speech.
She said that the Maine delegation is "trying to stay positive," and that they'd found allies in delegates from Texas and elsewhere.
