    Ron Paul revolution hits the Bay State-(Politico.com)

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-...te-122024.html

    "When Massachusetts Republicans went to their caucuses on Saturday, many didn’t vote for Mitt Romney’s picks.

    Instead, they went for Ron Paul.

    Less than half of Romney’s 27 chosen delegates won, and the losers included some notable Massachusetts Republicans - including Kerry Healey, the former lieutenant governor, and the House minority leader, Bradley H. Jones Jr., according to two Republican State Committee members who did not want to be named. Even some prominent alternate delegates lost - including 2010 gubernatorial candidate Charles D. Baker and Sheriff Frank G. Cousins Jr., the Republicans said."

    The fact that in Mass we were able to get as much support as we did is truly legendary. If someone woulda told me that we were gonna snag damn near half the delegates in freakin Mass I woulda thought they were crazy. Hopefully, us Michiganders can pull off something similar.

    Good. I tweeted the results (also Louisiana) to Maggie whomever at Politico over the weekend.... Not that that is why it was picked up, but if a BUNCH of people did it it couldn't have hurt....

    Blog section again. The mainstream republicans won't hear of this.

    The delegates are pledged to vote for Romney anyway, but it's still striking to see the Paul-infused grassroots rejecting the GOP's last two gubernatorial nominees -- Healey and Baker -- and a prominent Romney surrogate like Jones, in the presumptive presidential nominee's home state. While Paul's campaign has fallen well short of its hopes in 2012, his supporters continue to prove they can have an outsized impact in small, activist-dominated settings like this one.
