Why Ron Paul has GOP scared in Nevada

When the state conventions came up—the caucus vote was non-binding—Paul’s supporters stayed solid, dragging out a floor fight, demanding their delegates. It was a legendary battle locally (I still have DVDs that the Paul fans pressed and distributed afterward), and it would presage what happened in 2009 and 2010, when outsider activists took over their Republican parties in state after state. In Nevada, the activist rebellion ended up producing U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle.

I'm a new convert (LOL) always been in the GOP though. I had no idea this happened. The article is current and is talking about NOW, as of 10/19. I have also been looking up poll numbers ran before and after the race of the Angle/Reid vote last year. I'm convinced these polls don't mean squat... especially looking at their demographics on the ages of who was polled... they give very little attention to the youth vote. The article ended this way...

“People walk past the parking lot and they see the economy,” says Steve Bierfeldt, Paul’s Nevada executive director. “People in Nevada don’t need to be told that unemployment’s a problem, or foreclosures are a problem. They’re living that. He’s talking about it.” And so Paul’s campaign thinks Nevada is actually winnable? “Definitely.”
