Actually, scratch that. He also won in Virginia at the weekend, and some ex-Santorum supporters in Colorado have switched. At least 7 states are sending mostly Paul supporters to the RNC.

So Butler Shaffer seems to think Paul won't be on the ballot in Tampa. According to information from Ben Swann, it seems he doesn't quite know what he's talking about...
An update on the 5 state plurality issue and the Ron Paul campaign. I have been in contact with a number of people and here is what I know so far: 1. Paul has a majority of delegates in at least 7 states. Colorado (but many are uncommitted), Nevada (which unless a judge intervenes will probably be considered bound), Massachusetts (where the GOP de-credentialed delegates), Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Louisana (which has a combination of bound and unbound delegates, unbound are Congressional District delegates the vast majority of which are Paul's) 2. If you look at Rule 40 in the RNC rules, it requires a plurality of at least 5 states in order to have a name entered into nomination. 3. Apparently "bound" states like Nevada cannot enter Paul's name into nomination because they are "bound" to Romney. Again, this issue is VERY QUESTIONABLE since the RNC does not consider any delegates bound... and this isn't even in a round of voting. Plus, the RNC rule 40 makes NO distiction between bound and unbound.. simply says a candidate needs a plurality of delegates from at least 5 states. 4. Winning Nebraska's unbound delegates would give a 5th unbound state to Paul's column. 5. Federal lawsuit to declare all delegates unbound is still pending 6. Delegates at the RNC could argue that their "binding" is ONLY to vote for a candidate in the first round and has no weight on whether they place a name in nomination. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly.. the rules of the 2012 Republican National Convention won't be decided until the RNC, therefore it will be up to liberty delegates to wage their strategy and influence the convention as best they can.

I think Paul's 'hanging it up' was a decision he made in order to avoid violence. Although, it would be funny.
I keep seeing articles that say "Ron Paul, who hasn't dropped out of the race yet, ..." does this bode well for Paul's still open window to ask people to vote for him during his convention speech?
Might there still be a chance for a brokered convention?
Violence? No.
