On the Republican side, the only colorful component of the Republican party, the Ron Paul delegates, became raucous and forced the party leaders to abruptly shut down their state convention. Paul supporters outnumbered McCain supporters and demanded a rule change in order to grab more delegate spots. The rule change was totally not anticipated. In response, the rest of the party walked out. Paul got louder applause than Romney did when he came to urge support for McCain. The convention will have to be reconvened at a later time.
