It works both ways. These forums should be for fun, not taken too serously.

Nobody really voted for the loser during the primaries. He lost every state.

Thanks to election fraud and Diebold voter machine manipulation... The delegates will go to Ron Paul anyway... That's why he stopped campaigning...

Some of the fun will be missing, I can say that much.

You realize electronic straw poles mean nothing. The delegate selection process and human involvement, is where democracy meets the grind stone.

you still do not seem to understand, Romney could seal the nomination this Tues, what happens after that means nothing. If he doesn't do Tues we will on the 5th just by winning California...

You still do not seem to understand how the delegate process works... Dr. Ron Paul wouldn't be in the race at this point if he wasn't going to win...

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

Actually they can, but if they ever want to be a delegate again, they wont.

Of course he would. Why would he stop his campaign and thus not continue to raise money? He can use the money raised on a national campaign for his local re-election one.
