Don't you wish you'd been in Shreveport Saturday?Read the rest here.
For once in your life, the answer should be yes. The Republican State Convention there offered raw passion, intrigue and even a few broken bones. They say politics is Louisiana's favorite spectator sport. In its current form, the GOP could fill the Superdome.
The purpose Saturday was to select the 46 delegates the state party will send to the Republican National Convention in Tampa. Since Mitt Romney appears to have the presidential nomination sewn up, this should have been a pretty sleepy affair.
We knew beforehand that it would not be, however, because Ron Paul supporters, having turned out in force for caucuses that other voters largely overlooked, constituted a majority of those present. Meanwhile party officials were determined that Louisiana would line up behind Romney.
