THE ?300?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

That’s the number to look out for at today’s State GOP Convention in Indianapolis.  It’s the number of Ron Paul supporters who are expected to show up and throw a potential monkey wrench into today’s nomination process.

The Paul supporters are mad that the state party changed the rules for selecting delegates to the national convention.  Instead of voting on individual candidates, the party changed the rules so that the national delegates will be presented as a slate and would have to be voted up or down by the convention.  That has the Ron Paul crowd crying foul and they may try to disrupt the convention.  One thing I am hearing is that is the Ron Paul group may throw their support behind AG candidate Greg Zoeller as a way to stick it to the state party.  We’ll see.

I don’t think it will be Chicago 1968, but it is definitely going to be fun to watch today. I’ll be live blogging from the convention to check back later today.
