Delegates from the Hawaii Republican Party helped nominate the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan presidential ticket Tuesday (Aug. 28).
Romney won the GOP’s Hawaii Presidential Caucus in March, winning nine of the 17 delegates. Rick Santorum won five delegates and Ron Paul won three.
Also today, the RNC approved a platform that bars all abortions, bans gay marriage, reshapes Medicare and rejects federal spending as way to fix the economy.
