They also show a hard count, the hard count shows the amount of delegates each candidate has that are bound to that candidate on the first round of voting at the Convention. These delegates can vote, however they want in a 2nd round of voting, but are bound on the first ballot. That is where the 724 figure comes from.
There is no official delegate count yet. Stop making up numnbers.

So, numbers based on reality = made up nonsense, but asserting that the guy who's way way way behind is on track to win the nomination is just fine?

Paulbots need to seek help for their delusions. Just because you want him to win doesn't mean he has any chance of actually doing so.

I told you where to find the info, I also explained how the delegates in most states are tied directly to the vote on the 1st ballot, if you want to play games fine, but those are the facts. Hell, I wouldn't vote for either one of them, but I have more respect for Paul than I do for Romney. The simple fact of the matter is Romney simply has too many delegates which are bound to him on the 1st ballot as a result of the Primary voting in order to allow Paul to force a 2nd vote where the delegates can then vote however they want. The only option Paul has at this point to force that is to start winning and win the actual vote and big in the remaining states. He can sweep the delegates that remain for the 2nd round of voting, but its going to do him no good unless he can stop them from being bound to Romney on the first round of voting, and the only way that happens is if he wins those states outright.

C'mon, do you actually believe what you are stating? I have nothing against Paul, but he's UNELECTABLE, and has ZERO chance to be the Republican nominee.
I am definitely NOT a Romney fan, and am upset that he is the likely nominee, but any vote for Paul as a third party candidate, or write in, will just siphon votes from Romney.
Do you seriously want four more years of Barry Soetero Obongo?????

We don't thing Ron Paul supporters are crazy. But the mormon religion is.
