First of all, accepting a

First of all, accepting a nomination from the floor has nothing to do with accepting the nomination in general. Second of all, both Ron Paul and the campaign acknowledged (many months ago I might add) that they do not have the number of delegates needed to win. Third of all, is there any reason to accept a nomination from the floor if he does not have the delegates needed to win?

It is probable that accepting a nomination from the floor, just to prove something, would hurt the movement in the future. I see absolutely no upside to accepting a nomination from the floor, but I do see a lot of harm it could do.
