I think it's highly possible that no candidate will have a majority of the delegates at the end of the primaries, but...

I do think the many months in between the end of the primaries will be telling: Dr. Paul could pick up the LP, CP, rump Reform and other party nominations over the summer and overall, the candidates and powers that be will be in the smoke filled rooms cutting deals to get the majority before September.

What's rump Reform? Is that a nickname for what's left of the Reform party?

Um, yes, sorry. Not really a nickname, I just called the rump (8? states that are left) from what used to be a larger party. And it split. The current remnant is Buchananite.

Isn't there any party that the Ventura wing of the Reform party calls home now?
