Someone from the state delegation steps up to announces their state's vote. Then, no matter how many votes any other candidate gets, some blonde bobble-head doll bounces in and announces the Romney votes ... AND ONLY THE ROMNEY VOTES!

Even those who aren't Paul supporters are angry at the disregard of Paul delegates. They say the GOP just lost the election by throwing grass-roots under the bus.
