It's IMPOSSIBLE FOR PAUL TO WIN the nomination, is it not?

It is impossible for him to win outside of the convention, but that hasn't changed. It is also impossible for McCain to win outside the convention if we don't concede victory because he needs 1191 BOUND delegates going into it to avoid the voting. The numbers reported are all ESTIMATES based on the popular vote and we know we have way more delegates in the system than anyone else suspects. The delegates from the other candidates do not revert automatically to McCain just because their candidate supports him. They are free to vote their preference once they are released. If this is about momentum and if we start getting support in upcoming caucuses and primaries consistent with North Dakota and Montana (and other areas across the US where grassroots were actively spreading the message), WE have the advantage. McCain's support was NOT from the Conservative base and the Conservatives are kicking and screaming about not having someone who represents them. We have to be more active now to let Conservatives know they still have a reason to vote. McCain's base is not motivated and they are not educated about his positions. WE have the advantage now that the field is clearing.

Traditional Republicans are now opening their eyes to the need for a third party. We do not need to be that party. We need to provide an anti-McCain vote for the upcoming primaries and caucuses, go to the convention and fight hard, THEN, if Dr. Paul doesn't get the nomination, he still has a voice in Congress to lead the newby RP Congressmen, and he can endorse the third-party candidate provided by the LP or CP that he has the most confidence in for America to back. If those who are going to vote no matter what give a grudging McCain support in the Primaries because there is no one else, it will be that much easier for them to do it in the General election despite the alternatives that will have arisen by then.

This is what we have.
2380 delegates go to the convention.
There are 1140 delegates remaining
McCain has 714 (acording to the media, we know how accurate they are)
He needs 1197 to win

This means he needs 714 out of the remaining delegates or 62%. There are 3 men in this race, the odds may be in our favor, especially if we can pick up Romneys supporters.

Mccain cannot win, if the people refuse to accept election fraud.

I give him 0 % chance at the convention.

Ron will win.

Lincoln won with only 1/10 of the delegates needed. As long as McCain doesn't get the magic number of delegates a convention will allow delegates to vote their heart, many Romney delegates are now planning on voting for Paul, time will only tell.

But after today it may be impossible.

I am sorry it took so long to get a response. TO many people are busy fighting a civil war.
