Interesting story from the LA Times involving Ron Paul and his supporters.

Apparently, Ron Paul’s supporters are planning a convention revolt against John McCain during the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minnesota in September.

They hope to demonstrate their disagreements with McCain vocally at the convention through platform fights and an attempt to get Paul a prominent speaking slot. Paul, who’s running unopposed in his home Texas district for an 11th House term, still has some $5 million in war funds and has instructed his followers that their struggle is not about a single election, but a long-term revolution for control of the Republican Party.

I have to give it to Ron Paul, while he and I differ on some issues, he sure does have a hardcore base of supporters. The media virtually eliminated him from the race before it even got started good, which is a shame, as I think he has some strong ideas for turning America around.

As to whether anything will come of this planned convention revolt, who knows, but I will tell you one thing for sure……

When his supporters chased after Sean Hannity not too long ago and had him running to his car, that was the funniest thing that I have seen in a while! So, don’t be surprised if his supporters show up at the convention and make some headlines.
