aren't you forgetting Ca? Also, you do realize, whether Texas is his home state or not, he isn't expected to win or even come close today don't you?

you are getting your figures from his blogs and websites, they are not authentic and down deep you know this. Remember, I was anything but a Romney supporter but I am also realistic enough to know the printing is on the wall. Romney will seal the nomination before the end of next week and I am now totally behind him. If makes no sense to hold onto false hope. Even Paul knows he is not going to get the nomination...

Ron Paul doesn't have to win Texas because the delegates are proportional... California is winner take all but it doesn't matter anymore... All Ron Paul needs is 3 more delegates and it's all over for Romney.

Still trying to reason with the loons within the GOP I see, never happen, even after Paul finally gets the message his cult members never will, your convention is going to be a major mess and it will show the entire GOP that it is time for the Paulbots to go elsewhere.

It'll be to President Obama and the Democratic Party advantage if there's a struggle of sorts at the GOP convention. All of the tin foil hat types will be on display for the country to see or read about. It'll help steer the independents to the Democratic column. Romney should be congratulated for what appears to be successfully navigating a difficult GOP primary season gauntlet.

The figures you are quoting are from a mega consortium. This is the product they are selling. I assume you also have no clue who the NEP is. Do you even read where they get the data and how they are creating it?

The so-called "blog" site you mistrust, is from at least a some what independent journalist, whose information can be verified from his description of what he is stating and 3rd parties. Source links are right off the site. He ISN'T selling a product either with this site. (no they aren't all RP bloggers)Seriously no way you believe what you are saying.

This is much like you believing a drug study or commercial over an independent lab with transparent 3rd party sources. Seriously?

Speaking of Reason I am hoping Paul supporters come on over to the Libertarian Party after this election

If you are going to call Dr. Paul supporters Paulbots, you are going to have to
call anyone that supports Romney - Rombots, supporters of Obama -Obambots,
and so on.

As for libertarians who support the Libertarian Party candidate Johnson, you can just call us Integribots
We vote on Principal

Reality Check: Did Mitt Romney Really Secure GOP Nomination With Texas Win? - YouTube!



Paul is positioned to get the majority of delegates, at the remaining State conventions.
Look what the GOP establishment is trying to pull and change the rules, in Massachusetts, where they got their asses handed to them, in embarrassment.

Nevada the same deal.
