Here's what happened in a nutshell. On the day of the caucus, the Republican Party ran a "position" in place of a candidate. Voters had the choice
to vote for a candidate or a slate of
uncommitted delegates who would then choose a candidate on their behalf.... excluding Ron Paul of
course.
The ballot they used has to be seen to be believed, Ron and Nancy's smiling faces urging all good Republicans to "win one for the Gipper" and vote
pro-life/pro-family. Ron Paul's lifetime of delivering babies apparently doesn't qualify him for that..
Needless to say, most Republicans took one look at
Jesus and Mary Ron and Nancy, and immediately signed away their right to choose
their own candidate.
