Is it Mathematically Possible for Dr. Ron Paul to win the Nomination?

[ronpaulforpresident]

I've been asked this question several times while campaigning for Dr. Paul recently and my answer has always been the same:
"Do you believe in miracles? Because the good Lord does, Oh yes He does and I do and as a Christian nation united under his cross of love, we must keep our beliefs close to heart, even in these turbulent times when conmen like McCain are prancing hither and thither. Ask not whether is it 'mathematically possible,' but whether you believe in the good doctor, whether you believe the Lord is behind him."
At this point they're usually nodding, because I know they believe, and they know I do. Sometimes they even start laughing with joy, but I'm not done yet.
"Throw your silly math out the window, the only addition sign you should be concerned with is the cross our Lord Saviour died on to save us from our sins, and from people like John McCain who prances hither and thither. Pray for Ron Paul, and he will succeed, pray for him with all your heart, and pray for America, that she may open her beautiful eyes and vote Ron Ernest Paul, MD."

Hope you guys like it, it took me a while to learn of but it seems to be really effective and it's a good reply to a very common question.

Could someone move this to Grassroots central it would be better placed there I think.

he'd have to yank the delegates at the national convention

According to the latest update video, HQ believes we have at least 150-175 delegates in place, with Huck's, Mitt's and Thompsons, McCain will not lock it in before the convention and I don't think he'll get it then. If he doesn't get it on the first ballot, we are in great position to come out with the nomination.

People do not understand bound and unbound delegates. McCain DOES NOT have ~900 delegates as the MSM would want you to believe. As long as McCain doesn't run away with texas and ohio, I still think Ron Paul has a decent shot at the convention.

150-175? Last estimate was 42. Where do you get these numbers from?

There's a great explanation on DailyPaul of why Ron has a serious chance at getting the nomination; I'm personally a newb to all this political process, but the guy lays it down very well, check it out:

I don't think McCain has it locked up, by any means, but if the convention decides to stay away from him for age or health or scandal or electability reasons, my guess is they would go with Romney or some non-candidate over Ron Paul.

Why should any prospective voter in the remaining states care if Ron Paul has a chance at this point, if they think he doesn't? McCain supposedly having it locked up completely takes away the wasted vote complaint -- every vote from here on out doesn't affect the outcome, according to the media, so why not vote for the candidate you like the best? It's the only way to make your vote count now.

Ron does not have a chance. Most Republicans fear Ron's foreign policy agenda. We may not like it but that is the reality.

That would be because they don't understand it. His foreign policy is sound.

Sure it's possible, under some unpredictable sets of possible future circumstances. At this point, however, it does not appear to be likely or probable,
