ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- The Ron Paul revolution has completed its sweep over the Minnesota Republican Party convention here.

Paul backers won 12 of 13 Republican National Convention delegate slots filled in balloting Saturday, May 19, at Rivers Edge Civic Center.

They might have taken all 13 seats if one of the Paul state delegates had not graciously conceded the final slot to Rep. Michele Bachmann.

The results mean 32 of Minnesota's 40 national delegates to the Republican convention in Tampa, Fla., in August will be committed to Paul. Supporters of the Texas congressman and presidential candidate won 20 of the 24 national delegate slots filled at Republican congressional district conventions earlier this spring.

In the article I read these are folks that are strict Constitutionalists, want to illuminate the Federal Reserve and go back on the gold standard and they are in direct opposition to the Fundamentalists. I wish that were a good thing but GOP people tend to go along to get along and go by whoever is in charge rather than opposing the party itself. I hope that this is a death throe rather than the start of MN Fascism but these people eat their own.

BTW. Fracking has leeched into the St Croix through Wisconsin.
