Ron Paul gets a boost at Jackson County GOP caucus - KansasCity.com - Dave Hellig, Kansas City Star:
Mar. 24, 2012 - "Supporters of Republican presidential candidates Ron Paul and Mitt Romney combined forces to pitch a shutout at Rick Santorum in Saturday’s Jackson County GOP caucus.... 1,000 caucus goers awarded Paul a majority of the county’s delegates to Republican congressional district conventions in April and the state convention in June. Romney got the rest.
"'We were totally railroaded,' said Mary Jane VanBuskirk, a Santorum caucus voter. 'And it’s not fair.'
"Caucus goers in both the Paul and Romney camps said they began to discuss an alliance last week, after the Clay County caucus Mar. 17. In that meeting, Romney and Santorum backers joined together to reject a slate proposed by the Paul campaign, leaving the Texas congressman without delegates....
"The final slate awarded 63 delegates to Paul and 81 to Romney for the 5th Congressional District convention in April. For the 6th District, Paul won all 35 available delegates....
"Twenty-five national delegates will be picked at the Missouri GOP convention in June. There, Paul will have 140 Jackson County delegates, while Romney will have the other 39, caucus officials said."
