Did the Ron Paul delegates go home before the Ramney speech last night?

I remember 4 years ago the media making a big fuss out of the Hillary delegates and trying to create drama; most of the Hillary delegates were good sports and supported the nominee, but when the media found just a precious few (like 3 or 4 out of over 500) got pissed off and went home the night before Obama's speech they just had to make that into a news story

So, I am wondering, did any of the Paul delegates take their ball and go home?

Don't know if it was before Rmoney's speech though. It was really too lame to save or to repost here.

...and confiscated all of the RON PAUL signs in the audience before Lord Rmoney took the stage.

Several gave their credentials to the Code Pink group, which is how they got into the convention for their demonstrations on Wed and Thurs. I don't think the RP delegates ever returned to the RNC, whether they went immediately home doesn't matter.
