This should mean the good guys will have an advantage when the delegate selection takes place. Smiley

(State chair is also a superdelegate).

Yessssssssssssssssssss

Hopefully they are able to push through some incredibly anti-democratic pro-Paul slates at the convention.

Too bad they didn't take over prior to The Old Guard throwing his caucus votes into the Mississippi.

That always has been Paul's long term goal, anyway.

The GOP state apparatus has been slowly shifting in his direction, in some cases quite a bit farther than others (Maine and New Hampshire in particular were overrun by his cohorts, and Nevada nominated Angle because of a desire for revenge against Lowden)

I doubt those 24 delegates will make a world of difference, though Tongue

     Oh yeah. You know the ultraconservative contingent will spin this as some radical subversion of democracy. Oh well, that's the price of progress. Tongue
