Paul needs to win or doing something.... If he really wants nomination he cant just focus on cascuses...

Sorry but if romney keeps winning last of these primary's he will just win on first vote and all was for nothing...

We need a win or close % in California and texas

Jarg, even if Romney gets 1,144 it is not over. Yes, we will not get the nomination. However, we can make a scene at Tampa. That will help us down the road.

After Ron Paul's win in Maine over the weekend, and successful efforts by his backers to win delegate slots in other recent state GOP conventions, Mitt Romney will look for ways to snuff out any protest-vote-momentum in primaries today in West Virginia, North Carolina and Indiana.
107 delegates are at stake in these three races today, as Romney is the favorite in each state - neither Romney nor Paul has held events in any of these states in recent days.

Romney was in Ohio on Monday; he will hold an event today in Michigan. Meanwhile, Ron Paul will be on Capitol Hill for a House hearing on one of his favorite topics - the Federal Reserve.

While I don't doubt Romney will get the largest single candidate vote tally - he could get a lower percentage than McCain in 2008. Gingrich and Santorum are still on the ballots. Huckabee got 12% here even a month after he dropped out.

Wow. A hearing on the federal reserve. I wonder just how quickly this one will be buried and forgotten, just like the rest of them. I know Ron enjoys doing them, but they accomplish nothing because nobody even knows about them but us.

but we send clips around when they come true and now if we send them around, more look at them. I think it does good now, that it didn't because he is understood to be expert at it.

Mitt Romney will look for ways to snuff out any protest

I think this term is in bad taste, and always brings thoughts of 8MM (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134273/) (1999).

what percentage are we expecting in these states ?
will Dr. Paul get 2nd place or would we still lag behind those other 2 neocons who have dropped out ?
