    The people who attend the convention are pledged to vote for a candidate beforehand. They are loyalists. The delegates who went to the convention would vote for Paul without question on the first ballot, so if he were to receive a majority, then he would win the nomination, its as simple as that.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    "for the most part, the primaries are only for the democrats and republicans, as part of a way to narrow the field. where Paul comes in, as a libertarian (or whatever), will be when he goes on the general election ballot. at that time, he will need a voter percentage higher than all the other candidates to win the electoral vote as the state's majority vote winner; times whatever states needed to get him elected.

    The republicrats are a hard wall to breakdown and the reason that politics in the USA aren't at all a democratic election"

    He is running in the Republican Primary. "Libertarian" is his philosophy, he is, and always has been, a Republican.

    The odds may be high but Ron Paul can win the nomination.

    Now the real issue will be with the electronic voting machines and voter fraud. What about all those Eprom (Computer) chips (thousands of them) that just up and vanished. They will be replaced but the others will still be out there. So unless each chip is checked there will be no way to know if there was fraud involved or not.

    If we truly had fair and honest elections in this country then Ron Paul would win hands down.

    No. His money is not from the right sources. The insiders don't want him. The delegates are as we speak looking at someone we have not seen on the ballot yet, Thompson and Huckabee, as they know Romney is not in the game. All elections are a farse, most times with good reason, it keeps the unnecessary evil out of the game. Ron Paul is the humor in the game, he amuses them, and that part of the game is nearly over.

    here's how it works...i know this is more complicated than most 'ronpaulites' are used to, but...the candidate with a majority of delegates at the convention wins the nomination...you need a power point for that???
