Leondray Gholston

In today's Inside Edge, Wally explores the connection bewteen the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and state Rep Dave Schultheis' humiliating defeat in the RNC race on Saturday at the GOP state assembly.    "I don't know if Schultheis actively courted the Ron Paul vote," said another El Paso County delegate, "but it's clear that the Ron Paul support hurt him."      

Former acting state treasurer Mark Hillman won today's state convention vote for Republican National Committeeman with 55 percent of the vote.

GOP activist Leondray Gholston finished second with 26 percent of the vote, party officials said; state Sen. Dave Schultheis finished a surprising third with 19 percent of the vote.
