You have no idea what you're talking about, there could easily be a second round of voting if Romney doesn't get 1144 delegates in the first round, which I've already explained to you but you didn't reply to my post, so I'll say it again. Nobody is forced to vote, which means Romney delegates can simply not vote in the first round, so it doesn't matter how many delegates Romney has if they don't vote for him. And I know of plenty of Paul supporters that are Romney delegates so expect to see this happen. Not only can delegates abstain from voting, the law states that delegates can vote for whoever they want, and this is what happened in 2008 when a delegate was supposedly bound to his state to vote for Mccain, but chose to vote for Romney instead. This was allowed, just as the same will be allowed for Ron Paul if you apply the law consistently.
It's pretty ironic that somebody who has no idea how the process works or what the rules are, makes a thread about this.

I have no idea why you are asking for a link. This has been posted in damn near every Ron Paul delegate count thread since it was developed. It has even been linked, in comments made directly to you in your own threads, countless times.
This whole delegate argument has been done to death and somehow you seem to have missed it. I don't believe that to be true at all. I think you are just willfully ignoring anything in opposition to your position.
Deletage Count
There is even a thread about this count under the title "REAL delegate count"

He should reach the threshold next week, when voters go to the polls in Texas.
Assured of the party nod...
There is no guarantee that Ron Paul will be the nominee on the third round of voting! People like Chris Christie and Jeb Bush or Allen West will be voted in as well. There is no telling what will happen.
Its better to let it happen the normal and right way, because a brokered convention will be even more messy and more anarchy-like and more so-called corruption filled than any other election in history. Trust me, you do not want a brokered convention. It will only hurt Ron Paul's chances, if he has any left!
Laughable because if Romney doesn't win on the 29 he will definitely win the nomination on June 5. Nevada, California, and South Dakota, and New Jersey will be in the drawing! Once he secures all the 1,144 delegates before the convention it doesn't matter. The convention only matters if he doesn't win any delegates in the next three primaries in the last seven states. You fail there. thinking Ron Paul will take all of those delegates. Remember Romney only needs 60 delegates to win! Texas has 152 delegates up for grabs. To be legally bound. 3 soft delegates will be awarded at their convention next week. So that means. If Romney gets less than half those delegates (which its likely he will get most if not all of them) Then he will win right there. Soo let's do simple math here. 152/2 is 76. Romney needs 60 to win. End of the line!

Argue what this means to you but you know it's not official until the convention.
You are hoping for a routine and uneventful Republican convention but you have your doubts that has any certainty.

All the Paul supporters should be getting behind him to help spread a message of liberty, which is what Paul himself wants.
This claiming we are winning just feeds into the generalization of Paul supporters a crazies and doesnt help the movement at all.

The OP still gives Paul 100 to 1 (1%). I'll take those odds. I am neither a corporatist, evangelical, nor authoritarian so even as a registered Republican I see no sense in backing the GOP's manufactured favorite, nor the incumbant.

Romney has no serious competition left in the race. He has been solely focusing his attention on Obama. And in a recent speech Obama actually called Romney the candidate to beat. Those two are butting heads and Soon it will be official, with no chance of a brokered convention, like some were hoping for.

Yep, I expect Romney to win in Texas by a landslide. I don't expect Ron Paul to do well in his own home state, not even his district. In the last two presidential campaigns Ron Paul ran in, he only won one small county north of the state, he can't seem to convince even his own district voters.
