Ron Paul turned down an offer to speak at the convention because it would have required him to fully endorse Romney and his speech would've had to get vetted by the Romney people.

It's good to see that while the convention is a 25% shorter, that two great leaders are still going to speak today - Mayor Mick Cornett (R-Oklahoma City) at 3:15 pm CT and Gov. Mary Fallin (Oklahoma) between 7:00-8:00 pm CT.  I know they're not big nationally, but they both, especially Gov. Fallin are rising stars within the party.  Gov. Fallin will be finished with her term as Governor in 2019 (if she wins a second term in 2014) meaning she could be a potential 2020 or 2024 dark horse.

In more relevant news, though, I'm glad Gov. Christie is going tonight so he has less of a chance to overshadow Gov. Romney or even Rep. Ryan.  I'm also interested to hear how Mrs. Romney attempts to humanize her husband.  I'm voting for President Obama in November, but I am very interested in the Republican Convention, not to jeer it or laugh at it, but to have as close to a fair fight as we can.  I want, and I'm sure Obama, wants Romney's best shot.

It looks like they are re-opening the convention in a few minutes ...

Will Romney then be immediately nominated ?

The role call should be starting. Will Ron Paul be placed in consideration? He did just make a "triumphant" entry into the hall, and was swarmed by chanting supporters. Fox immediately cut away to interview Mia Love...

The fact that Paul is AT the RNC means something. He might endorse Romney, and he might get his name placed in consideration. I have C-SPAN on.

The Schedule on C-SPAN says the Roll Call for Nomination of President will occur at 5:20 pm ET (1 hour 50 minutes from now).

CNN just did an interview with a few Paul delegates (I think from Maine) who were saying they'd walk off the floor if the Romney guys who replaced half the Paul delegates weren't removed and replaced with the Paul guys.

The Ron Paul delegates are being very immature, they're trying so hard to make sure Barack Obama is re-elected.  I'm glad Ron Paul is a whole lot more civil than his supporters.

You do not have the right to call anyone "immature".

Prime Time Wink He worked hard, he deserves it.

This is bullsh**t. The Ayes did not outvote the Nays on the Maine motion, and Boehnor just declared the Ayes had it anyway.

Last I checked, it was the Romney folks throwing state delegations out for nothing and unilaterally changing the rules.

Balloting is starting. They are talking about the roles. Non delegates will be allowed to make seconding/nominating speeches.

Considering the sham that the previous votes have been (See: The Maine vote, in which a state was thrown out basically because the RNC says so), I doubt we'll see much.
