That means Santorum is reclaiming the delegates that Ron Paul picked up at the state caucuses. We can expect Newt to do the same if it gets him a little facetime to rebuild his shattered lobbying/propaganda firms.
So Ron's total delegates are going to be maybe in the range of 150-250.
So, all of those people who were screaming that Rand was a traitor and a bad son because supposedly all federal delegates were unbound turn out to be correct. Just not the way they meant.
Ron Paul got these delegates as an anti-Romney tactic. They never were his really. Nor could they be expected to stay with him if the candidate they were originally pledged to and supporting called them back.
So it won't be 500 delegates at the convention. It will be at most 250.
I think Ron Paul recognized this as Santorum had to be contacting his delegates before he launched his little convention movement. As a result, Ron tossed in the towel enough for Rand to give his endorsement at the last minute to Romney on Thursday night because Rand had to appear at the Kentucky GOP convention as a state party leader on Friday.
All these hateful trolls who have been calling Rand a traitor owe him a public apology. The ones who issued those hateful videos should fire up their webcams and post an apology video.
Those who don't apologize should be rejected from participating in the Liberty movement. We don't need some fifth column of weak sisters to stab us in the back at the slightest downturn.
It's now clear who the traitors to the Liberty movement really were. They were the ones calling Rand traitor without knowing the facts.

Santorum is Bush Inc. looking out for FUTURE interests.
In the short run, it is advantageous for Bush Inc. to have Obama win. Romney would be gone and not a sitting president to run against in 2016.
As well McRomney is not a member uff der klub. As a result he is not under as tight control despite his willingness to spread his cheeks to get the Oval Orofice.
