Ron Paul rocks GOP Convention
From MPR's Conrad Wilson...
Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul spoke at the Republican state convention in St. Cloud today.
Paul affirmed his support for state Representative Kurt Bills, who earlier won the GOP's endorsement to take on US Sen. Amy Klobuchar in November.
Paul's support helped propel Bills to winning the endorsement. As he talked to delegates about his message of limited government, personal liberty and a less aggressive U.S. foreign policy, Paul also struck a chord of bi-partisanship.

"Whether liberals or conservatives or modest Republicans, come together and do the right thing. What don't we just all come together and all obey the Constitution," Paul said. "That would be a unique idea."
Four years ago Paul was not allowed to speak to the state Republican convention.
