The real issue was what Mitt Romney would get. If not this one, one of the articles I read said that 2/3rds was the threshold for Romney now that the main players are out and he's running alone. 65% is an insignificant mathematical deviation from 2/3rds.

So, I agree with you. In NC Romney met the test. That's not to say he didn't elsewhere. I just haven't seen the results yet.

How about we just let the silly Ron Paul stuff go? Paul isn't going to be a factor. He isn't going to stop Romney from winning more than enough delegates for the nomination. All this "vote Paul to stop Mitt " has been fantasy from the beginning. It is completely obvious that most conservatives/Republicans that want to cast a protest vote against Romney would prefer voting for candidates that already quit the race than cast a ballot for Ron Paul. Paul is a libertarian, not a conservative and the vast majority of Republicans don't like him and are never going to vote for him.

Romney got like 65% of the vote in the 3 states that voted last night. His nomination is not in question. Paul got like 10-15% and barely even edged out candidates that have already quit the race. In WVA, Paul actually lost to Santorum.
