Nevada GOP Delegate and Homeschoolers for Ron Paul State Coordinator, Tara Wagner, gives her perspective on the happenings at the Nevada GOP convention-

“However, in the middle of voting and before one district had finished, Beers swung the gavel, ending the convention without discussion or debate (against the rules of the convention) and notifying us that it was our fault because we had changed the previous rules that would have apparently safe-guarded us from running out of time (with no mention to the over 2 hours of wasted time that morning). He stated the party would inform us of when we would reconvene within the week. Senator Beers and other party officials quickly shut off the microphones, turned off most of the lights and left the building.”

Ron Paul supporters showed up en mass- a very, very organized mass- at the Nevada GOP convention and set themselves up to claim the majority of the Nevada delegates to the National GOP Convention. Of course, McCain supporters and the party establishment became overwhelmed and temporarily shut the convention down, claiming they had run out of time and had to vacate the building.

Senator McCain has expressed criticism of President Bush’s handling of the Katrina aftermath. He has promised that a McCain administration will handle such disasters differently, promising “Never again”, and explained how he would have responded had he been president.

“I’m just saying I would’ve landed my airplane at the nearest Air Force base and come over personally,” he said.

Wow. I’m sure that would have made all the difference in the world. McCain sharply critical of Bush response to Katrina

While it can’t be called a resounding victory, the 128,000 votes captured by Congressman Ron Paul in the Pennsylvania primary does send the GOP establishment a message…

We will not fall in line.

When you add in the addtional 90,000 votes garnered by Governor Mike Huckabee, it’s clear that not every Republican voter is satisfied with the presumptive nominee, Senator John McCain.

Dr. Paul is closing in on nearly 1 million votes in the state primaries and caucuses and yet he is still ignored by the Old Media and seems to be given even less consideration by his own party.

Are they ignoring Dr. Paul, his message of liberty and his supporters at their own risk?

Time will tell.

Senator McCain, campaign-finance-reformer extraordinaire, may be facing charges of FEC violations for going beyond the spending cap set when a candidate accepts matching funds. McCain used the promise of claiming the matching funds, in order to secure a 4 million dollar loan last December to bolster his flagging campaign fund-raising. But after his strong showing in the Super Tuesday primaries, he sent a letter to the FEC, stating that he was withdrawing from the program. The FEC still has not met to vote on the matter, so there’s a question as to whether McCain has been excused from the program or not.

But there’s another complication. Senator McCain used the FEC matching funds authorization to gain ballot access in Ohio. The other candidates went through a complicated procedure in gathering signatures from Ohio’s 18 districts in order to be placed on the ballot. McCain bypassed the process with a program that he is now trying to withdraw from. Wouldn’t logic dictate that he also needs to be removed from the Ohio ballot?

Former FEC chair, Brad Smith, questions whether this amounts to election fraud.

With McCain being limited on how much he can spend between now and the Republican convention in September, will the Republican party be able to help him as they helped Dole in 96?

Nope. The Republican Party is limited in any assistance they can offer.

Why?

The McCain-Feingold legislation sponsored by Senator McCain himself.
