Talking Points Memo says there's a big showdown coming this weekend:

Ron Paul’s last hope of challenging Mitt Romney for the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention comes this Saturday at the Nebraska state GOP convention. If he gets a plurality of delegates in Nebraska, Paul’s name will be put forward for nomination, and he will be given 15 minutes to speak before the first round of balloting in Tampa — an embarrassing situation that Romney wants to avoid.

With the stakes high, both the Paul and Romney campaigns are working hard to make sure their side wins in Nebraska.

Romney and Paul supporters have been “burning up the phone lines,” the executive director of the state GOP Jordan McGrain told the website Nebraska Watchdog.

This is fascinating stuff. Of course Ron Paul isn't going to win his party's nomination, but he could seriously monkeywrench the fuck out of it if he takes the opportunity to speak on primetime television. Now, I ask you, Slog: Will it happen?
