On the other hand, the rule was to make sure that the delegates selected honored the choice of the electorate, rather than the arcane rules of the DC playas; Paul basically acted as Romney’s surrogate pit-bull, then targeted Santorum’s delegates for flipping.

Paul was much slicker in these delegate battles than Santorum because he had $40 million in cash, mostly raised from Democrats.
