portland, maine, kevin. good morning. caller: good morning. to comment early quickly about the fact during the rnc convention -- i live here in maine and to see how the other candidates were not touted for ron paul toward some nomination during the convention. it is glaringly obvious to see how the establishment before the republican party wants to take advantage of the fact that there is still a part of the republican party that sides with other things. i saw a truly independent thinking -- thinker in regards to the political scheme of things. i was disappointed and shocked, quite frankly, that the republican party, especially in a time of unity for the convention that they would go ahead and do that. am i surprised? i am not surprised, but i'm surely disappointed that they could not allow those 10 delegates to be counted fairly and equally. host: from the boston herald this morning is this headline, "democratic chair apologizes for calling scott brown a girl." he "tweeting brown at a massachusetts convention when he said at this statement."
