Comment: I was happy to contribute the few hundred dollars I did ..

... to the campaign. And I would do it again.

But this OP is right:

There are a lot of us that are still unclear on these questions.

I am not ashamed to admit that I don't understand all the details of party electoral politics, and how all of this mess has shaken out in the end.

Because I am left with the impression that Dr Paul *did* legally and factually have a plurality of 5 states - and that the campaign essentially allowed the RNC and Romney camps to steal the nomination through dealing it away for the sake of "not rocking the boat"

Am I misinterpreting this?

The OP is right.

Where is the official statement from Ron or the campaign for the supporters to address this.

We are owed that much.
