The LA Times reports that Ron Paul supporters might be planning a GOP surprise come the convention in Minneapolis:

“They hope to demonstrate their disagreements with McCain vocally at the convention through platform fights and an attempt to get Paul a prominent speaking slot. Paul, who’s running unopposed in his home Texas district for an 11th House term, still has some $5 million in war funds and has instructed his followers that their struggle is not about a single election, but a long-term revolution for control of the Republican Party.”

And in case that doesn’t work, Paul’s people have another ray of hope: his book is about to hit number one on the New York Times Bestseller List. Of course, that’s because of ronpaulbookbomb.com. So, uh, yeah.
