I would bet any Ron Paul supporter any amount of money that he won't get the nomination. I'd even bet there won't be a brokered convention.
This news from MO literally changes nothing for Paul.
It does highlight yet again how corrupt the GOP, Paul's party of choice, is.
It's funny, Paul supporters will, by and large, vote for Romney or Obama. In the end, if Paul runs as an indie, he won't crack 10% and he'll hand the election to Obama.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, carried half of the 24 delegates being decided at Missouri's congressional district conventions. But the results also ensured that Missouri's delegation will have mixed loyalties when it arrives at the Republican National Convention in August. Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who suspended his presidential campaign earlier this month, won seven Missouri delegates on Saturday. Four delegates went to Texas Congressman Ron Paul and one to former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Most of the rest of Missouri's 52 delegates will be decided at a state party convention in June.
Missouri will have 52 total delegates. Because Missouri is not a winner takes all state our delegates will be determined as followed: 10 at-large delegates (picked at the state caucus level), 24 congressional district delegates (8 districts with 3 delegates each- picked at the congressional caucus level), 3 state party delegates, and 15 bonus delegates (picked at the state caucus level.)

I wonder how much more the RP haters are going to deny, at the very least, the possibility of him winning the Republican nomination.
I have said from the very beginning and I stand by it - this is the last chance we have and I know that Dr. Paul knows this as well. He and his team isn't going to be slumping in their efforts, and they aren't lying when they say they are still going strong.
He will be there and he will be pulling tooth and nail at the convention.

My Question to Ron Paul supporters ... why didn't Ron Paul vote NO on CISPA ?
He did speak out against it ..... here's the thread discussing the House vote
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Paul has not cast many votes while his campaign has been in full swing.
CISPA was going to pass with him or without him. And in some ways it’s unfair to Rep. Paul to single him out for not showing up when 248 of his colleagues actually voted for it.

That's a fairly self-serving delusion.
I don't like Paul, find him dishonest and egotistical, and find his ideology essentially abhorrent. I find his SUPPORTERS fairly uninformed and in turns aggressively evangelical and nonsensically condescending. I also find many of them to be living in a fantasy.
I don't like Paul and can't deal with his supporters, but I don't dislike Paul BECAUSE of his supporters.
And I don't see much evidence of that in general.
