Me either. That's why I could care less if Obama gets re elected or not. Either Paul or Johnson for me depends on if Paul stays in and runs as 3rd party or independent or not.
Yes, it will dramtically show how far behind he is for all to see.

#2 Santorum is no longer around to split up popular votes. Sure some Santorum supporters will stay home or vote for Gingrich or Paul...and some will vote for Romney. This increases Romney's odds to win more states and more bound delegates. There is a real chance for Romney to get to 1144 delegates on bound delegates alone that are tied to popular votes - without a single unbound delegate.
Just watch April 24th, Romney will win 5 of 5 states and dominate in these bound delegates that must vote for Romney on the 1st ballot. Over 75% of all delegates are bound to a popular vote on the 1st ballot and Romney is easily getting the vast majority of these.
It's pretty evident that all three of you didn't even bother to read the link.

Santorum didn't have any delegates. His entire campaign was a charade. Santorum dropping out doesn't change anything. The unbound delegates will vote for Ron Paul.

No need to. I know in the end Ron Paul type Republicans will be the majority in the party. His son is in his 40's he has a good 30 more years to carry the torch of liberty for people like me.
Not until the Ron Paul types start running for election at every level of government. School boards, township trustees, city council, etc. Then after several terms they can run for congress and senate. Then and only then they will be a movement and have some power.
I can't believe that some are saying that Romney is the same as Obama. Do you want Obama appointing judges? Are you in favor of the Dream Act?
Every state has different rules for their delegates. Some for 1 vote, some for more. I don't see how Paul supporters think that all of these people will switch to Paul. They did not vote for him in the primaries why would they vote for him now?
