It gives me great joy to see stories like this! +rep for posting this.

"People feel threatened — they don't want to see a bunch of kids who may have voted for Barack Obama take over," Wead said. "They feel a sense of ownership over the party — but there has to be an accommodation."

But state party machinations are already starting to backfire. The Paul campaign believes it has won the majority of Maine's delegates — and the perceived voter fraud has galvanized Paul supporters to demand their votes be counted in the state's straw poll 'beauty contest.'

Caucus chaos has also proved to be fertile ground for Paul's quiet takeover of the Republican Party. Since 2008, the campaign and Paul's Campaign for Liberty PAC have made a concerted effort to get Paul sympathists involved in the political process. Now, tumult in state party organizations has allowed these supporters to rise up the ranks.

"We like strong party leadership when it comes from us," Paul campaign chair Jesse Benton told Business Insider. "Our people work very hard to make sure that their voice is heard."

Let the new, fresh generation take over the reins. Are these people gonna hold onto the "power" until they go to their graves? Without the new generation, the party is dead. Bunch of old chronies figuring out which groups of people to manipulate.

There is nothing secret about it. We're playing by their rules.

He is being successful because the ground work is great. Whether he is taking over the GOP is another matter that we won't really know until the convention. He does have them angry and nervous though, as they should be. He alone will make the 2016 republicans much better than they otherwise would be(in the case that he doesn't win). Now someone has to be Ron Paul, and everyone will compete for the spot. In forming arguments they don't really care about to match him, they may actually learn a thing or two on the subject. Cheers.

is this AuH2o in 1960 or are we going to have our cow palace moment?

We're not gonna take over the GOP. It's a dying patient lying in hospital. We're just sneaking into its room to pull the plug on it.

We are taking back the GOP, from the pro-war liberals that defected to the republican party in the 60s

Another great article on there as well, and I love the pic!

Needs a caption like, "Can you smell what the Ron is cookin'?"
