Ron Paul supporters dominate at mock 'caucus'

Gathering in Winston-Salem was one of many that took place across the U.S. yesterday

(Winston-Salem Journal; Saturday, December 8, 2007) - Supporters of Republican congressman Ron Paul overtook a mock political caucus in Winston-Salem last night to help their man win big.

A group of liberal, conservative and nonpartisan political groups organized the meetings yesterday across the country. Called the National Presidential Caucus, the meetings were a way to give voice to voters who live in states whose primaries probably won’t matter in next year’s presidential race. The group’s Web site is www.nationalcaucus.com.

The host of the “caucus” here was Vernon Robinson, a former Winston-Salem City Council member and former Republican congressional candidate in the 5th and 13th districts.
