Missouri’s weekend caucuses overrun by Paulians
Yep, I’m sure you are in the same boat as most other Missouri Republicans and didn’t even know there were county caucuses this weekend. Well, there were and it seems that those crazy Paulians didn’t get the memo that Paul dropped out a couple weeks ago. They reportedly turned out in droves and basically overran the caucus locations getting about a third of the 2,137 state delegates. Here is what they had to say for themselves:
Missouri leaders of Saturday’s pro-Paul effort insist that they’re not driven by a quest to resurrect his chances for the White House.
Carlson and other Paul supporters say their aim is to force the Missouri Republican Party to embrace Paul’s principles.
“We’re not holding out an illusion that Ron is going to win the nomination,” said Debbie Hopper, Paul’s national field director. “This is about calling the Republican Party back to its roots.”
I have to hand it to them, they sure are an ambitious group of people. Plus, I guess Paul had to find some way to use the rest of the campaign money he had on hand.
