Fair is fair. He has won the necessary states to be on the ballot at Tampa.

The Republican National Convention is quickly approaching (August 26th). For over the past year, avid Ron Paul supporters have won delegate spots in various state conventions across the country. Through this hard-work, Ron Paul will officially be allowed to be nominated for the nominee of the Republican Party.

I just read that at least one person thinks there will be so many people at the Ron Paul event before the RNC including all the delegates who will be so impressed with his speech there that the good vibes will carry over into the RNC and delegates will realize Paul is the best man for the job and vote for him in the second round of voting.

He has won 12 states or more, in the majority of delegates

What is even more shocking to the establishment and they can't be just now noticing it. Those sitting in Romney seats, might not be Romney supporters.

Although some relatives settled here back in the day, I'm not a native Texan but got here as fast as I could.

What happened to change the Nebraska delegation? From all the news reports, Paul failed to get enough enough delegates there and ended the hopes of a Paul takeover at the convention.

Here's one link, but all the others say the same thing:

Insurgent Ron Paul Delegate Tricks Die In Nebraska

Is there some super-secret plan the Paulistas are keeping? Or are their responses here just wishful thinking?

I'm curious to know if Paul's supporters are going to go against the wishes of their candidate. Here is a link to the message Dr. Paul sent out to his followers by email:
