   Heh, did you hear what happened in Nevada?

   Ron Paul supporters pushed through, by a 2/3 majority vote, a rules change that would allow self-nominations to the slate of delegates to the national convention (of which there were 31 open spots). The party leaders adjourned the convention before the spots could be filled.

   ——

   From the Reno Gazette-Journal:

   After a super-majority of Ron Paul supporters captured control of the Republican state convention Saturday, state party officials abruptly canceled the event without electing delegates to the national convention.

   Early in the day, state delegates supporting Paul’s continued pursuit of the Republican nomination voted through a rules change that forced the state party to abandon its preset ballot of potential national convention delegates and open up the race to the rest of the state delegates.

   The vote followed a rousing speech by Paul of Texas, who said his presidential campaign will continue as long as he has support.
