Actually, even though the mainstream media has mostly ignored Ron Paul, he is still in the race and headed to the Republican National Convention. Lincoln, also ran against a "presumptive" nominee who had garnered over 2/3rds of the required delegates. But, Lincoln, like Ron Paul, had a large grassroots following and went to the Convention anyways. It ended up being a Brokered Convention and after voting Lincoln won the presidency! The presumptive nominee is just that, PRESUMPTIVE.

"All we need is for half the states to succeed or something equally implausible to make that happen and radically change the delegate count."
LOL, thanks for the laugh!
McCain has 800 bound delegates, the rest (1300, or so)are called soft delegates. If McCain doesn't get the required amount of delegates to vote for him in the first round of the Republican Convention, it becomes a brokered convention. Nothing implausible about that!

I'm laughing even harder! How many delegates does Ron Paul have...a whopping 35, not nearly enough to do anything except maybe attend the Convention. Given Paul's low percentage of the popular vote, the available delegates certainly will go to McCain.

Good for you! Laughter is the best medicine! Have a chuckle on my behalf, I do not mind. I actually encourage it, for it allows debate. Unlike the powers that be that try to stifle debate.
Google "Council of Foreign Relations" and find the list of those who belong. Almost every major news media source belongs! Now let's look up Congressmen.....why, there"s Obama and McCain! Hillary too!
Ever wonder why Ron Paul never got a chance, why he was continually shut down over and over? Ever wonder how we ended up with these two bozos?
IF VOTING MADE A DIFFERENCE- THEY WOULDN'T LET US VOTE.
It is time for America to stand up and be heard! For if we continue with the status quo, we will all be singing ...
BYE BYE MISS AMERICAN PIE........
