Paul was killed in the Virginia Primary when it was essentially him and Romney running against each other.

So far Romney has almost 4 million more votes nationwide.

Romney has won approximately 69% of the delegates and Paul has won approximately 5% of the delegates.

The primaries on 4/24 were not even close.

Currently Romney is predicted to win Texas, Paul's home state.

Romney is essentially running away with CA, which is a winner take all for 172 delegates.


Paul has essentially no shot at getting the nomination because the numbers do not add up in his favor at all.

I guess we’ll see who’s foolish at the end of the Republican convention when Romney emerges as the nominee.  Maybe they’ll give Ron Paul a speaking slot if he’s lucky and agrees to play by the rules of his chosen party.

It's not my fault that you're being a twat about this. It's not like RP has a good reason to give up, especially when he isn't out of it. It's okay to refuse the status quo.

Two words: Brokered Convention.

President Harding did the impossible, so can RP.

Those numbers are wrong. Paul has 13 in Iowa and at least 22 in Minnesota. How about we just let the dust settle and see who standing after it's all said and done, instead of pushing what's best for the party or whatever BS they're calling it.

Here is three reasons Ron Paul won't call it quits.

1. Have ya'll ever heard of a brokered convention?

2. Ron Paul isn't a team player and he isn't looking for a spot on Romney's staff.

3. Ron Paul is spreading his message of Libertarianism and this will only help him gain exposure.

So, your number two answer "Ron Paul isn't a team player"  is supposed to ensure that a low delegate person will take the nomination.

"Paul is spreading his message of Libertarianism ..."  So why is he a Republican and not leading the charge for the Libertarian Party?

The only person who had a chance at forcing a brokered convention was Santorum. Barring some sort of huge scandal Romeny will be the Republican nominee.

Romney has approximately 846 delegates. 1144 are needed to win the nomination which means Romney only needs 298 delegates out of a remaining 965. With Santorum and Gingrich dropping out, it is safe to assume the races will be between Romney and Paul. Paul would have to win 70% of the delegates to stop Romney from getting to the 1144 number. The numbers simply do not add up for there to be a brokered convention, and if there was realistically any chance at that Romney would still be extremely focused on this.

I would give Paul the same shot that Andrew Luck has of being drafted by the Lions in the seventh round.

Two words: Brokered Convention.

So you're saying an anti-establishment type is going to go to that establishment's largest event of the year, knock on the door, request that they void 50 states' worth of primary votes, and then somehow make such a shockingly good case that they'll immediately forget he's a fringe candidate that doesn't mesh with their values whatsoever?

And you think there wouldn't be some major repercussions if that happened (such as, "why bother with the primary if they're just going to give it to anyone with a gold axe to grind"?)

Two other words: "No chance."

Ron Paul has a better chance of winning the Democratic convention this year than he does the GOP's.

Ron Paul is more of a conservative than Romney will ever be, so I'd say RP meshes better.

You hold on to that with all your might! You might also click the heels of your red shoes three times while repeating "There's no-one like Ron Paul". Ya just might end up in Kansas.

Anyone can make a claim - but backing it up is another thing

Have you ever been to Kansas? Not a lot going on there. I'd rather go to Tampa!
