This is the only email that should have been released and not Benton's defeatist-toned garbage.

Best release I've seen in a while. I was a delegate but unfortunately didn't get nominated. Believe me, if I was in Tampa I would be fighting tooth-and-nail until we got what we wanted.
Awesome email otherwise...
Maybe the foreign press will cover the blatant cheating

Possibly. Sky News has been reporting on Ryan as if he's a real conservative's conservative. They don't dig any deeper than surface gloss, I'm afraid. If they did they'd know he's all tough talk then votes for all the big spending etc.
I'm glad someone from the campaign has grown a pair of balls and sent out this tough-talking communication. The last email from Mr. Benton struck his now customary defeatist tone. I may be being a little harsh but I think he may be looking to his own future these days.
Don't give up now, good people. Keep at 'em!

Yet the proof is in the pudding. I haven't seen the campaign do one thing for the delegates recently. IMO, another attempt to shut the grassroots up.

They're already attempting this at the state levels. I don't know how much bigger it could get than that. Are they expecting Rent-A-Cops down in Tampa to break everyone's fingers and hips and then make up some lie to have Paul delegation arrested? (I wouldn't put it passed them.) I mean, if the official campaign hasn't gotten serious about fighting this garbage until now, then what were they expecting? Maybe the campaign thought that if they just sat back and played nice the RNC would consider it harmless and throw 'em a bone in Tampa, like a prime time speaking slot or something. Now that its looking like they want to shut us out completely, RonPaul2012/C4L is scrambling to keep their foot in the door.

actually, in those 90 media outlets there will be international media and Dem media. SOME will want to expose it. Not the machine necessarily, but the fraud in favor of the Romney campaign. They will suggest it has never occurred before....

Why are there two campaign managers and why are they contradictory? No wonder there were problems.
I noticed that too. Crazy!
Apparently Tate has always been the campaign manager and Benton is the campaign chairman, whatever that is. The media has been calling Benton the campaign manager though and even people here have so I thought he was.
