I get it now... Romney only has 200 to go. Ya, that's it.

Carry out the plan that was started and working well. Just keep it on the down-low.
I'm sure we will see a concession speech very soon from Dr. Paul.

I'll be more interested to see your concession speech when Romney accepts the nomination explaining how you had things figured out so wrong, although I'm sure we'll just get another nonsensical "liberty is bound by freedom's boundaries" or some other quixotic but absolutely inapplicable non-reply.

You have some weird things happening in your mind... but I'm not running for the opportunity to take on Obama in the general elections.

Don't worry, the multi-synaptic posters understood what I meant you just keep on preaching freedom and looking forward to Ron Paul's glorious achievements upcoming in Tampa.

After the Texas primary which is proportional... Romney will not make 1144 delegates for the convention... It's all over when the second ballot is cast... Ron Paul will be the nominee at the convention in Tampa...

Some of the fun will be missing, I can say that much.
Yes they can. If the popular vote determined the winners of an election, why would they even bother with delegates? There would be no need for them!

Obomney's delegate count is staying flat as Ron Paul's delegate count is steadily going up...

Not only that but according to the map, the Romney only has 492 half of which are probably Ron Paul people and there are nearly 1400 delegates still to be decided. It looks like Romney has his work cut out for him. Actually, I don't think he even wants to win that badly. He's certainly not very passionate about changing the country if he ever was elected.

Also, after the Texas primary which is proportional... It will be mathematically impossible for Romney to make 1144 delegates... The second ballot will take place for sure... The Ron Paul campaign knows this...

Shhhhhh! Not too loud.


We want them to think Mitt only needs 200 more.
It will make it that much easier at state conventions, to storm them and take all the delegates and expose the corruption of the establishment.
