Fact of the matter is he needs to finish first or second somewhere really fast or this is going to be over.
I don't think the brokered convention angle is a really good idea to try to hijack the convention in the face of popular vote. It's starting to look like Obama is going to win again and if Paul makes a mess of the convention he's going to be scapegoated and so is his movement, and there will be very little chance to win over Republicans in the future, closing an avenue for the movement.
I'm not so sure it wouldn't be better to just play the game, for Paul to publicly support his party's nominee in exchange for a strong speaking assignment at the convention, and be happy for the improvement we've made in just 4 years and start looking for the next standard bearer.
I don't think trying to broker a convention when it looks like Romney might win 40 states is a real good idea.
