Ed. Note.  The Convention drew considerable attention as the "last stand" for Ron Paul supporters.  To have his name placed in nomination at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Paul needed to have majorities in at least 5 state delegations.  He had four (IA, LA, ME and MN).  According to news reports he won 2 of the 35 Nebraska delegates.
