***Official Tuesday Live Convention Thread***

[mport1]

Man, I can't stand listening to all these statists. This is awful.

"Eight of Colorado’s 36 Republican delegates, all of whom supported Ron Paul, abstained Monday morning rather than pledging their support to the presumptive GOP nominee, Mitt Romney.

“We’re here because principles matter a lot more than candidates,” said Jim Gaston, an alternate delegate from near Trinidad who supports Ron Paul and refused to pledge his support for Romney. “The Republican Party platform is actually pretty Constitutional, but our candidates don’t always follow it.”

Colorado GOP Chairman Ryan Call told FOX31 that the diversity of the delegation is a positive.

“We respect all the different points of view within our delegation, and we always have a robust debate,” Call said. “And what’s important is that we’re going to gavel in tomorrow and nominate the right candidate to turn our economy around, and that’s Mitt Romney.”

The obstinacy from the Colorado delegation’s more libertarian members took place during a breakfast at the delegation’s hotel ahead of the Republican National Convention, which begins Tuesday. The breakfast also included a short speech from Matt Romney, the candidate’s second oldest son."


But my question is why couldn't they still vote for Paul??

Abstain? Go back to Colorado you prick.

Unless the Abstaining Delegate was already replaced for not voting, I think it depends more on who the replacement Delegate will be.
