If there's no GOP nominee on the first ballot, we WILL lose in November. If there's any kind of floor fight or multiple rounds of balloting, it doesn't matter whether the nominee is Romney, Paul, or Chris Christie. The party will be in disarray (especially if it is Paul), we will lose any chance of the Senate, and we will shoot ourselves in the foot with regards to holding a strong House majority. Obama will cruise to re-election.

The republican party will have no one to blame but themselves. 2nd election in a row they are trying to give us a nominee that isn't very popular in an election that should be very easy for the republicans to win.

Paul would be popular? Santorum or Newt would be popular? Fact is, we don't have an Obama figure that gives the masses butterflies in their stomachs and tingling sensations shooting up their legs.
Fact is though, Obama really didn't have a record to stand on in 2008. Now he does. All the while Romney has been the clear cut winner of the popular vote and state by state votes this primary election.
Paul is not only popular but he reaches across the aisle to get democrats and independents to vote for him. The only reason he isn't doing well is your average voter gets their news from the main stream media who doesn't give Paul much of a chance and who calls a man who is a 12 term congressman unelectable.

In other words, the media tells the average voter who to like and who to vote for and who to hate. Sounds very plausible, and it works
1. Many of the delegates outside o potentially the caucus states (and its too early to tell on those) are not Paul supporters.
2. The chances of a brokered convention are becoming more and more slim. Most of the remaining states are WTA by state and CD, so the chances of the winner of the state walking out with less than half of that states delegation is unlikely. So unless Romney starts losing state after state, he will get to 1144 on the first vote.
