This suspension helps Ron Pauls campaign. Upcoming primaries and caucuses - predicted winner 02/09/08 Kan. Caucus 39 - Huckabee 02/09/08 La. Primary 46 - Paul 02/09/08 Wash.

Primary 24 - McCain 06/03/08 S.D. Primary 27 - Paul Come June, McCain will have won 211 more delegates
703 + 211 = 914 Lets say McCain pulls out the win in Texas
914 + 138 = 1052 McCain is still short of the 1,191 delegates necessary to win the nomination. Add in Ohio, and hes still short. AND these states (except 3) are not winner take all states - meaning the delegates will be split and distributed to 2nd and 3rd place finishers
We have a long road to go
McCain doesnt have enough campaign cash left to make it past May. Ron Paul could potentially go into the GOP convention with almost 300 delegates. A brokered convention was the plan from day 1, why change now? Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 5.
