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.

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.

The states with direct election of GOP delegates are: IL/PA/RI/WV/NJ
Mitt Romney is Not The GOP Nominee
Some young gangsta-wannabe ranting on a webcam isn't going to be my first choice for information. I suppose some people think they can just stamp their feet and clamp their hands over their ears and pretend Romney isn't the nominee. I predict they're going to be disappointed.
You may recall that Ron Paul didn't win the popular vote in a single state. Santorum won 11, Gingrich won at least two (SC/GA, big states).
So if Romney's plane crashes, Ron Paul still won't be the nominee. Even if he does want to legalize heroin, something the GOP masses absolutely crave. It would be Jeb Bush or Mitch Daniels or someone not named Ron Paul, someone who had never run for prez against a GOP nominee (even an icky one like Bush Senior).

Gosh, that's mighty high-toned of you to assign it as my homework to research your unsourced statements, TooCon. I'd ask how many delegates that amounts to but I'll just estimate that the vote counts for 10% of the States could be excluded for non- compliance with Federal election regs, one of them being Santorum's home base.
