Worthington Daily Globe | Worthington, Minnesota - Patrick Condon, Associated Press::
May 19, 2012: "Ron Paul scored the bigger win Saturday at Minnesota's state Republican Convention.... The Texas congressman's backers seized control of the state convention, claiming 12 of 13 open delegate slots to the GOP national convention in August. The 13th slot went to U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who failed to win it on the first ballot. Her opponent, a Paul supporter, conceded out of respect.
"Previously, 27 delegates were chosen. In all, 32 of Minnesota's 40 delegates are confirmed to support Paul over Romney.
"Paul appeared at the convention on both Friday and Saturday. He's no longer actively campaigning against Romney, but has said he intends to make a last stand at the national GOP convention in Tampa. His supporters hope to secure him a more prominent role there and also gain greater support within the GOP for his libertarian-leaning views."
