Yeah. Shouting down the other side always leads to victory. Always.

"If presidents were elected on the basis of volume, President Paul would be replacing President Dean in the White House this November."

Ha! Paul Constant, that’s a knee-slapper.

It should be remembered that Obama won the election because "the enthusiasm, the youthful energy, and hours spent practicing their chanting and yelling skills" - or what otherwise could have been called "Grass roots". Obviously Ron Paul isn't going to secure the Republican nomination, but Republicans knew from back in early spring time, via poll after poll, that Ron Paul stood the best chance of beating Barak Obama during the election. In addition, Paul has the popular support to extend his existing “grass roots” campaign into a much larger one. The reason they didn't pick Paul is because he is diametrically opposed to the core tenants of many modern Republicans: Socialism for the rich, uncheck international meddling, xenophobia, supporting the Police State, and a merger of Corporations and Government.

Everyone brace for Obama 2012: “More of the same!”

Also, people started chanting "U.S.A" when a Puerto Rican delegate was speaking. Like, chanting it because her accent was un-American.
