TAMPA, FLA. -- It’s supposed to be Mitt Romney’s time to shine, but Ron Paul supporters doing their best to steal the spotlight.

Groups of demonstrators are blanketing several street corners in Downtown Tampa, not only to show their support of Paul, but to also show their opposition to the Republicans Presidential Candidate Pick Mitt Romney.

Some supporterscame from as far as Los Angeles to participate in this week’s demonstrations.

"I think the purpose of politics is the challenge and contest when you feel that things aren’t going into the right direction when you feel the right polices aren’t in place," Ron Paul supporter Joseph Timchenko said.  

Meantime, on the convention floor, Ron Paul’s delegates are expected toprotest the Republican party’s new rules that limit the number of delegates on the convention floor for candidates who lose primaries in future elections.
