Despite Romney being mathematically unable to get 1144 delegates today, Media fakes it

I read somewhere (but can't seem to find it) that a candidate cannot drop out of the race as long as he has campaign debt, only suspend.
Can anyone verify this?

Yes, that's correct.

My wife called me to tell me she voted for Ron today.. She also said she was the only one there around Noon time... crazy low turnout..

Doesn't this help us if the media is calling this over for Romney. There people stay home thinking they have already won, our people go and vote knowing we are still in this. I mean I wouldn't count on this as a strategy to win it all, but hey I'll take all the help we can get!

It may help in PA but to win TX and CA votes need to think there is at least a chance of a brokered convention, imho. We might get districts without that, but we need some reporting, maybe a radio ad about Ron's delegate strategy working, how well he polls against Obama, etc.

It is going to take more than CA and TX to forced a brokered convention though. If I remember the math correctly, if Paul or Newt doesn't walk away with a win or two today, then they would have to pretty much sweep all the remaining delegates to block Romney. Romney right now is sitting somewhere between 578 (his bound count) and 696 (his bound + pledged). With the 231 that are up for grabs today, he is going to be very close to clinching unless Paul or Newt win a couple of states, NY and CT obviously being the ones that we want Romney to fail in since they award the largest amount of bound delegates.
