Ron Paul revolution at the Indiana GOP Convention?

Is there going to be a Ron Paul revolution at the Indiana GOP Convention?  Apparently, someone thinks so.

Kristen got a call yesterday from 219-000-0000.  The caller asked specifically for her (although we are both delegates to the convention) and identified the survey as one specifically for Indiana delegates to state convention.  They asked three questions:

1.  Do you think that the US should pull out of the War in Iraq?

2.  What is your view of the Patriot Act?

3.  Who did you support for President?

If I were trying to identify Ron Paul delegates without specifically asking, that would be how I would do it.  State Party has been musing about the large numbers of Paulistinians who contacted state party about running for delegate this year.  I've heard numbers as high as 200 identified Paul delegates who made it through on the May ballot.

After the Nevada fiasco, is state party trying to make sure the Paulistinians don't create a riot?  With the AG race sucking everyone's attention, is there a possibility that Ron Paul's delegates are organizing themselves quietly via this phone survey?

** Update:  Another individual who received the call asked who paid for it.  The call was paid for by John McCain.

Interesting...

I just posted on my site, but one of the Paulistas is claiming they handed the AG to Zoeller and had 400 in attendance. Another guy is online saying they had 300 and want to triple their numbers in two years to get majority control of the convention.

400 sounds high, but they definitely had at least 60 in the 3rd District caucus and about 25-30 in the 4th.

Personally, I agree with much of what the Ron Paul folks are saying. Small government, lower taxes, elimination of government departments. Many are socially libertarian which I don't agree with.

Clearly they are a lot more excited then the normal party folks.

Ron Paul is NOT a social libertarian. He is very pro-life and he is very Republican. There's a difference between having libertarian viewpoints (small l) and being a Libertarian (capital L). Ron Paul has been a Republican for longer than some of you bloggers have been alive. He stands for what Republicanism once was and what we're fighting to recover. I have served as a delegate a few times since 1992, and I've always considered myself to be a conservative, Ronald Reagan Republican. Reagan and Ron Paul believed in much the same thing. Today it's hard to tell a Republican from a Democrat, and that's why Ron Paul appeals to so many in our party. He's one of us, and it's disheartening to see Republicans treat them like outsiders. They're just trying to take their party back from the people who stole it. More power to them!
