Still in the Race, and Plotting a Path to the Convention - NYTimes.com

Still in the Race, and Plotting a Path to the Convention - NYTimes.com: "THE DELEGATES In essence, Mr. Paul is doing what Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich had threatened to do — use gatherings of conservative voters at state party conventions to peel away delegates that were awarded to Mr. Romney during the primaries and caucuses.

He is having some success.

In Nevada on Saturday, Bob List, a former governor and a Romney supporter, lost his seat on the Republican National Committee (and his ticket to the convention) to a backer of Mr. Paul, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.

A headline from The Portland Press Herald in Maine tells the story there: “Ron Paul Supporters Take Over Maine G.O.P. Convention.” Supporters of Mr. Paul were elected chairman and secretary of the state convention."
