So, will Ron Paul get all the airtime that Hillary supporters and her PUMA's got? Will the "big media" story be about how the Republicans can't get it together?
"'Ronvoys' bring supporters to rally for Ron Paul
There's no room at the Xcel Energy Center for maverick Ron Paul, so his acolytes have packed their cars, hitched rides on "Ronvoys" and will pitch tents at Ronstock '08 in defiance of this week's GOP convention.
Almost 9,800 tickets had been sold for the Rally for the Republic, being held in Minneapolis, which seeks to bring together activists who oppose war, government regulation, immigration, taxes, the Federal Reserve and outsourcing but support individual liberty, civil liberties and Paul.
The Ronvoys — fleets of buses and vans carrying Paul's loyalists — were to begin arriving Saturday. A few rally-goers planned to walk from Green Bay, Wis., and join Paul for the final miles of their Walk4Freedom.
Paul, a congressman from Lake Jackson who failed in a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, considers the rally a celebration of traditional Republican values of limited government — and a poke in the eye of the GOP. They don't plan to crash the Republican party but to show they and their Campaign for Liberty are not going away.
"No matter how much our message is ignored or ridiculed, as was done in the campaign, no matter how much they did to us, it only energized our grass roots," Paul said."

Probably not, see, because "dissension in the Republic Party" is not a story they want you to know about. How ever, oh my, the Democrats are all mixed up and shit apparently. You know, mixed up enough to have 36 million people tune into their nominees acceptance speech.
