Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign has won the majority of Washington’s
delegates to the Republican National Convention, and a number of other
states are expected to follow suit, pointing to a hectic convention in
which Mitt Romney’s path to the nomination may face a major insurgent
opponent.
Washington is now the third state, after Iowa and Minnesota, in which
Ron Paul has locked up at least half of the state’s nominating
delegates. In order to be officially entered in nomination at the Tampa,
Fla., convention, he needs to secure half or more of the delegates in
five states, and as of Thursday, he looks poised to grab a majority of
delegates in other states like North Dakota and Maine in coming weeks.
Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign has taken an unorthodox tack, hoping to draw
state delegates to his camp rather than simply winning the popular
vote. As such, he is stacking up delegates who once backed Newt
Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum and other fallen candidates.

Gary 2012/04/28 17:38:15go Ron Paul+8There is a revolution going on. We The People have begun to wake up in mass to how our system is actually run and by which interests, and Ron Paul has been a tremendous leader in that effort. Make no mistake: the vast majority of Ron Paul's supporters Will Not Vote For Any Other Candidate. Period.
Is that because we don't believe that some, even most of them would not be at least marginally better than Obama? No. It is because we understand that all of them, except for Dr. Paul, has at one time or another demonstrated a willingness to PLAY THE GAME. They have all flip-flopped, pandered, or sold out to one or a variety of interest groups. Except for Dr. Paul (and Gary Johnson, to be fair).
But Republicans, don't worry. We're going to save you from yourselves. We're taking over. We're fighting an information war and we're winning. Despite a blatant Pravda-like mainstream media blackout, Ron Paul continues to climb in the polls and delegates, continues to out raise his opponents, in both cash and sheer # of individual donors, and moreover he has infected the entire tone of the debate with his philosophy, The same philosophy that was laughed at 4 years ago. Ron Paul is the only one worthy of our trust. Ron Paul 2012, because honesty, integrity and principles are more than just buzzwords.

I have no quarrel with your argument whatsoever, except to disagree with the implication by context that Ron Paul will have a meaningful role in stopping current trends. He would be a fool to accept a vice president opportunity, because that would completely marginalize his message.
Ron has more than his five states to go to Tampa and challenge Romney. I guess we will see what happens at that time
To explain our case, we look to the language of Rule 38, which was adopted in its current form in 1964. The rule states: “no delegate shall be bound by any attempt of any state or Congressional district to impose the unit rule.” The unit rule does not prohibit a state from using a winner-take-all primary in the same way that Rule 15(b) prohibits most states from using a winner-take-all primary when holding a contest earlier than April 1st. However, the unit rule does prohibit binding delegates to vote according to how a majority of delegates from their state vote – again, a scenario most likely to occur in a state using the winner-take-all rule.
Explain on how many occasions delegates actually voted independently of their represented districts. That is not the unit rule.
BHO needs to be defeated.
Realistically, RP does not have the votes or capitol to do it.
If, if, if and if will not win against BHO!
It is your RP cult that has a better chance of helping to secure a BHO victory by dividing the Republican party or by your cult leader becoming an independent.
