Eric, thanks for clearing that up. I put it in a form of a question
because I was trying to recall the info I had read in Russel Means
book Where White Men Fear To Tread, Its been awhile since I have read
the book and I have put it away in storage with some other books so I
can not quote what Means said, he made have said what you are
saying, then again he was pretty bitter about losing the nomination
so he may have said or lead readers to think Paul won by only 2
votes.
Best I remember he also reported that Paul's family members made
the 2 votes.--- In [email protected], "Eric Dondero
