Almanac: At the Capitol

John McCain supporters are passing out red hats. But so far there were only about a dozen takers. There is a strong libertarian mood on the floor. Ron Paul had a big rally earlier and lots of delegates have told me they really enjoyed my Jesse Ventura interview. Ventura had some harsh words for Norm Coleman, but some of Ron Paul's supporters questioned some of Coleman's votes today. It's new to see some dissention in a GOP that has been so disciplined in the past, especially when it comes to uniting behind one candidate early. One delegate just said, "I didn't know we had a dictatorship." Another delegate added, "They want us to shut up and take it." Party Chair Ron Carey responded, "We cannot run the party if we have rogues."
