3 Republican members of Electoral College may not vote for GOP ticket

[mim89]

At least three Republican electors say they may not support their party's presidential ticket when the Electoral College meets in December to formally elect the new president, escalating tensions within the GOP and adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the final weeks of the White House race.

The electors — all are supporters of former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul — told The Associated Press they are exploring options should Mitt Romney win their states. They expressed frustration at how Republican leaders have worked to suppress Paul's conservative movement and his legion of loyal supporters.

1. it's pretty darned undemocratic for the RNC to have ignored the Paul delegates at the convention

I would be extremely pissed at the Republican party if I were a Paul supporter... and those people are not go-along-to-get-along types. I hope that as we get closer to the election Paul's supporters are reminded of the way they were treated by the party who's still hoping for their votes.

2. Romney had to steal it from them before he can steal it from us.

It's nice to know that someone out there has a small but significant chance to avert a potential disaster. But we've seen the Paul people talk and saw what happened when it came to brass tacks. Hint: Telling Mitt Romney what you plan to do is probably not a good idea.
