[quote:Anonymous Coward 19316597:MV8xOTY1NTA2XzMyOTc5Njg3X0IxMTVGMjEx] Well - That's a significant improvement over the Minnesota convention. RP and supporters getting to actually attend the convention with the rest of the GOP - Wow. And unspoken but inclusive of that deal - the RNC is considering allowing RP delegates to continue GOP membership, as passive party members. Last election they were excommunicating and purging - so this is clearly an improvement. [/quote]
Original Message
GOP officials and the Mitt Romney campaign have cut a deal with Texas Rep. Ron Paul's campaign to allow some — though not all — of Paul's delegates from Louisiana and Massachusetts to be seated at the Republican National Convention. The status of Maine's delegates remained unsettled.
The compromise would appear to avert a potential public clash with Paul supporters during the convention's opening day on Monday.
Among Republican delegates descending on Tampa for the GOP presidential convention will be scores of Paul loyalists, who had been uncertain about the degree to which their party and presumptive nominee Romney would allow them to participate.
The key looks to be in part the GOP's embrace of Paul's call for an audit of the Federal Reserve, a move hailed by his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, as "great news" and "long overdue." (Romney on Monday endorsed the concept during an appearance in New Hampshire; the party on Tuesday included it in its proposed party platform.)

The gist of this, is that the GOP agrees to a platform position of auditing the FED, and the Paul supporters are seated, and participate in the convention without making noise.
