That didn't sound like he "begrudgingly" admitted it, that just sounds like your personal spin. The handful of caucus states Paul has won will not carry him to the nomination

First they ignored him, then they attacked him, now they are admitting he is a viable candidate!

Brett Baier "...and he's still racking up the delegates...".

Have to agree with tmstep, I didn't see anything begrudging in that exchange. Now it cannot be denied that both Cameron and Baier have gone out of their way in the past to minimize coverage or make disparaging remarks about Ron Paul's candidacy and primary results.

If Romney cannot secure the 1144 majority, then Paul has a much better chance than Romney.

Just put it this way, Romney is the "chosen" one before the 1st Caucus. With all good publicity, MSM sucking on him, and backing of Goldman. All other candidate beside Paul is a "non-Romney" candidate. If he cannot secure the 1144 majority before the RNC, then he has no chance of winning the nomination.

Ron Paul’s stealth state convention takeover - The Washington Post

Of course, Mr. Paul will not win the Republican nomination. However, it does appear that he is on course to be a major factor at the convention (the party platform, etc).

Indeed, I am, for the first time in a long time, looking forward to a political convention (which have been mainly dull without any drama for several decades).

The "begrudgingly" is a historic reference. There is a history between Carl Cameron and Ron Paul.

Don't jump the gun. One step at a time. This post is very specifically about Paul being eligible to be nominated, not that he will be the nominee. We can save the fistfight over that to another thread. Don't muddy the waters here.

Yeah, looks like he has 8 states. The other 3 mentioned could def go his way.
By this summer, I think there could be some surprises.
How interesting. The YT account was terminated.
