However, many states have laws that directly bind delegates to the voters' choices. Some states bind all delegates, some bind only part of the delegates.
In addition, delegates would have to want to spike Romney so bad that they would take Paul who as a former LP candidate against Bush I repels them almost as much as legal heroin (which RP has advocated in a debate this year).
So the point is ridiculous. If Romney suffered some massive scandal (like the discovery he secretly has a harem of 72 virgin Nordic wives), I still doubt the convention would pick Ron Paul as the nominee. It would be Santorum. Or it would be Jeb Bush or Mitch Daniels.
The Paul campaign has made it clear they do not expect to have even half the delegates needed to capture the nomination. Personally, I doubt that he'll have the plurality in five states' delegate counts to have his name placed in nomination on the first round at the convention. The GOP old guard worked hard to deny him two states.
But keep in mind, he qualified on one state in 2008. Had they not cheated him this years, he would have qualified in at least five, maybe seven states. That kind of growth is something to build on, particularly with a far more adept retail politician like Rand Paul taking the core of the Ron Paul movement over after Ron retires.

BUT, Rand is just another dyed in the wool neocon who just backstabbed his own father along with his supporters. BS, I'll never vote for him, and I suspect there are many who feel the same.

There's speculation that Romney attended the recent Bilderberg meeting -- like other outlaw pols here in the past, such as Obama and Hillary; which is a criminal violation of the Logan Act prohibiting unauthorized, secretive meetings with foriegn officials. Evidence is stronger that Mitch Daniels and Kerry did. (Ref.) If so, all of them should be banned from our elections. Additionally, there's the question of Romney's eligibility for office, as with Obama. Insistent presumptions that his father was a citizen of this country at the time of his birth isn't enough evidence.

I agree that kind of growth is something to build on but disagree that Rand Paul taking over his movement after he retires is the way it should go. The movement isn't of concern to Rand so much as its value to him and his Neocon cadre as a self-promotion and publicity tool.

Which states are you talking about? These State located elections are for a Federal election. Ronald Reagan suggested that delegates who were pressured as "bound" could abstain from voting in the first round of the national convention.
