Perhaps the leading supporter of Ron Paul in South Carolina, state Sen. Tom Davis had harsh words for GOP leadership after a floor fight that saw numerous delegates committed to Paul leave in protest.
The dispute between Paul supporters and the GOP had been brewing for some time as Republican leadership that was loyal to nominee Mitt Romney put forth a proposal that said, in those primary states with a popular vote, the candidates would be awarded delegates in proportion to their percentage of the popular vote.
“GOP leadership has an obligation to include (Ron Paul supporters) and if they don’t, they risk losing the election,” said Davis, a first-term Republican from Beaufort County, who spoke to Patch from Tampa.

My favorite part of the article:
Davis was one of the few elected officials in any state to support Paul, as some more moderate Republicans feared a move too far to the right would jeopardize the chances of the nominee in the general election. The general election wasn’t a consideration for Davis in endorsing Paul. “Everyone talks about relationships and if someone wins, ‘what they can do for me?’ but I didn’t look at it that way,” Davis said. “(Paul) was speaking to the issues that are really facing the country and the havoc that the Federal Reserve has wreaked on this economy.”
Though Paul came up short in the electoral aspect of his presidential bid, Davis believes that it was ultimately successful. “Politicians in both parties are now finally talking about the issues that Dr. Paul has been talking about for 35 years. That’s a win,” Davis said.

Indeed.
