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.

Yup. I’m one of them. Would have been Newt for me, and might still be (in Texas) just to show conservative colors.
But if the only choice was Ron Paul or Romney, I’d vote Romney just to shut the fantasy down. Ron Paul is actively disapproved of by a majority of GOP voters for his looney stances on marriage, drugs, and foreign policy, and he wont ever get even close to being the nominee.
