St. Paul, Minn. ? Delegates joined in St. Paul to mingle, to party and to hear from Republican luminaries. And, of course, they nominated a GOP ticket for the White House. Many paid their own way to be a Republican delegate. Why? What motivates them to not only be active in politics, but to ally themselves with a political party. Who are these people that would take time out of their lives, time away from work and, often, their families to rally around the Republican Party banner?

But as Minnesota Public Radio's Jeff Horwich reports, few people are happy with current state of things.
