Ron Paul was the big winner in the St. Charles County Republicans second attempt to hold a caucus.
The Republicans in St. Charles County finally got a chance to have their voices heard at Tuesday's caucus. At the end of the four-hour long caucus the loudest voices belonged to Ron Paul supporters. The Texas congressman picked up a clean sweep at round 2 of the caucus. The pro-Paul slate Constitutional Conservatives picked up the 59 delegates for District 2 and the 88 delegates for District 3.

New caucus will be held, but date has not been set.
Missouri’s first round of caucuses are now over, leaving behind a virtual trail of tranquility and chaos. Chaos was the case in St. Peters, where the St. Charles County Republican Caucus ended without any delegates being allocated. The confrontational event became a national story, resulting in stories both on CNN and in the New York Times. (Click here for St. Charles Patch’s two-part series on what exactly happened at the event.) Because of that event, and other examples of confusion detailed in the national and local media, the GOP caucuses were generally perceived of being chaotic and unorganized. Former Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) appeared on KSDK on Sunday, for instance, and described the process in a rather negative light. So what happens…

About 2,500 voters left the meeting at Francis Howell North High School on Saturday afraid they were in danger of being disenfranchised. No Video Rule The caucus got off to a rocky start when the temporary chairman Eugene Dokes, announced the rules, including a stipulation that no video recording would be allowed. That brought some angry shouting from the crowd, setting the tone for the rest of the meeting. Some participants ignored the no video rule. “It was all Ron Paul supporters,” said Jon…
