Yes, yes, yes... I realize that the "GRAND TOTAL" will come when the GOP Primary is finally over, and Mitt Romney is the candidate. That's why I wrote, "As of TODAY." Sorry you missed that.

Most of the unbound delegates are going to vote for Ron Paul. In the second ballot, Ron Paul will win in a landslide.

I hope you are correct. Some states don't unbound until later rounds though.

with two video clips with VERY interesting sound.
Link to the blog and listen to the first clip beginning at the 2 minute mark where you can hear a backroom deal being explained to potential delegates by a GOP leader, where they are asked to vote for a slate of vetted delegates who are going to support Romney. UNBELIEVABLE.

It goes to show that Romney is HARDLY the most electable if he has to resort to these sleazy tactics.
Being that both Newt and Paul together do not have half the delegates as either of the other two currently have I would say Newt and Paul should call it a day and end their runs, neither can win the nomination at this point.

Really? Got a crystal ball there, Zultan?

This is the EPITOME of what I'm talking about, when I say that too many of the Ron Paul Zealots are just plain nuts.

Well being that many states have held their primaries one can estimate the current numbers so far with some accuracy, how many states has Paul won? Clue the perpetual fourth place candidate is not going somehow magically win the majority of delegates in the end, if he did THEN there would be some serious reasons to find out who really cheated. Anyway, it is a two man race at this point, and neither is named Paul.

or named Ron. I am still scratching my head, wondering how some can really think Paul will win and then we have someone saying it will be a landslide for him. Where do people come up with these ideas? I would be willing to bet, none of the uncommitted delegates will change their minds and support Paul..If we end up with a contested or brokered convention there is a better chance of a candidate not in the race winning than Paul.
