A gaggle of Ron Paul supporters from the Maine delegation led a brief protest in the halls of the GOP convention site, shortly before Paul Ryan was set to take the stage Wednesday night in Tampa.
“As Maine goes, so goes the nation!” they chanted, repeatedly and loudly enough to be heard from inside one of the media booths.
One of the protesters, as they made their way toward the exits, held up a shirt that said: “We are the future.”
Another delegate, Bernie Johnson, said the mini-march was impromptu and indicated he wasn’t expecting theatrics on Thursday for when Mitt Romney delivers his nomination address.
Would have preferred that they saved themselves for tomorrow night and help the boo birds.
Exactly.. DURING prime-time TV, just en masse march right up to the stage and start lobbing rotten veggies at Mitt. If you're going to stage a protest, don't do it when no one is watching and CSPAN doesn't even catch it. BE BOLD![]()

There are several articles out there about the USA chant as the Puerto Rican delegate came to the stage. People in Latin America don't understand the context of what was happening, and the YouTube is being passed around as an example of American jinogism.

So this tactic backfired to some degree, and the RNC has has to do some fire-dousing over the videos.
The RonPaulites, whose furious devotion to a single idea have made them the Ellen Jamesians of the right...
