Some top Romney delegates don’t make the cut in Mass.

<..> The Boston Globe reports that according to two state committee members, some prominent Romney backers – including 2010 gubernatorial nominee Charlie Baker and Kerry Healy, Romney’s former lieutenant governor – did not win spots at the national convention.

In their stead will be supporters of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), according to the Globe report.

<..> Still, the failure by some of Romney’s top supporters to win convention spots is an unexpected bump in the road for the former Massachusetts governor on his home turf.

It’s also the latest instance of Ron Paul supporters’ aggressive delegate strategy at work, which throws an element of unpredictability into the convention process.

The repub convention may yet be a free-for-all.

Interesting turn of events for the "bid-nessman."

On another note, when I read "Ron Paul supporter," I can't help but think that by their support, they are telling the world they're 100% behind the truly ignorant screeds that went out under Paul's name. Even if I liked everything else about him, that would have been a dealbreaker for me.

The RP supporters I've seen online are as nasty as those screeds were.

I'd expect his supporters to be just as biased as Ron Paul is. Either that or they're one issue voters who think maryjane is going to be sold at the local grocers if he wins.
