I hope we CAN win over enough delegates before the convention, especially before they are approached with bribes to secure McCain's nomination. It might have already been done.
On another note, the legality of winning the convention without winning a state in the primaries is NOT called into question. The popular vote in primaries is nothing more than a beauty contest - the delegates to the convention are the ones that make the decisions.
Furthermore, if the people of this country are uneducated or desensitized to the point of wanting to goof themselves by not adhering to the Constitution, why is it wrong for us to use the proper means to protect them from themselves? I'm not saying that one person's opinion is better than another's, but that we are a Constitution republic. This means we have foundational rules upon which decisions are to be built, but since people are not taught what they are, they cannot make proper decisions in voting
So GET THE DELEGATES! Failing that, write-in Ron Paul in November! McCain would be slightly better than Hillary or Obama, but he's not going to get to the White House because I voted for him!
Clear conscience for me!
