By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

MINNEAPOLIS -- Two representatives of the supporters of Ron Paul in Washington state addressed the Republican delegation this morning with a gesture of good will toward their party mates.

Washington elected four Ron Paul delegates to the national convention, accounting for ten percent of the total, and now that they have cast their votes for their preferred candidate, three of them have offered to give up their Thursday night floor passes so that McCain alternates could be present for McCain's acceptance speech tonight.
