How shocked will you be when Ron Paul wins the GOP nomination?

I know, I know, the mainstream media has told you that Romney has already locked up the nomination, but he hasn't...

After all the primaries have been held, there's no doubt that Romney will have a much larger number of delegates, but will Romney have the 1144 needed to clinch the nomination? There's a very real possibility that he will not...

Many of the delegates that are currently bound to Romney by rule, are actually Ron Paul supporters, and if Romney fails to reach the 1144 delegate total, then those delegates are allowed to flip and vote Ron Paul...

This has been Paul's strategy all along, and it's working quite well so far...

Ron Paul Could Still Win Enough Delegates To Deny Mitt Romney The Republican Nomination -

Ron Paul Continues to Nip at Mitt Romney's Heels -

If Paul pulls this off, the people will be shocked! This would totally expose the mainstream media as pure propagandists...

Update:

@ the Obama supporters

Ron Paul would defeat Obama by a LARGE margin! We have the real world supporters! Obama would get the hardcore lefties, Ron Paul would have everyone else... Once the people realize that the media is not to be trusted, and that Ron Paul can win, his message of freedom would destroy Obama's message of "hype and blame".... You better hope Obama doesn't face Paul, if we can take down the Republican establishment with no media backing, just imagine what we would do to Obama head to head...

    Ron Paul already won 7 states, and many of Romney's bound delegates will vote for Paul on the second ballot in the brokered convention. I'd say ~60% of Romney getting nominated, comparing to the media's >99% chance.

    PS Ron Paul's current estimated delegate count is nearly 400, Romney only around 600. He will most likely not have the needed 1144 delegates.

    I was shocked and pleased to see that my fellow Americans were willing to vote a man of color into the presidency based apon the platform of hope and change .

    AND

    I will be even more shocked and pleased if they elect a person with the virtue and knowledge of Ron Paul

    Then maybe we will get that hope and change we have been waiting for.

    Not at all. I prefer him to Romney even if he is the LDS candidate. He has been out there very long, at least 3 elections.
