What's Next?!

You have to wonder why they would do this now, after they declared McCain the winner already. But with Ron Paul the only opposition to McCain, getting people who might have cast a protest vote for Paul to think he has already dropped out could keep voter turnout low could be the goal. Of course, this is just rampant speculation, but something to think about nonetheless.
Why do so many people think this?!
The "protest votes", as you call them, will likely be non-existent in the extreme. One only needs to refer to the primaries held since Romney dropped. He actually came SECOND in one of them!
Put simply, Romney and Huckabee are still on the ballot and will likely stay there all the way to the convention (Romney especially as he has NOT ended his campaign) and their supporters are NOT going to vote for Ron Paul as they "know" he cannot win either.
Now, all of that said, let's just stop and THINK for a second.
WHY ARE THE MSM STILL TRYING TO MARGINALISE US?!
If it isn't protest votes, then what?
Simple...
Look at the grassroots reports coming out of Texas. McCain got a large whack of popular vote, but died on his arse regarding delegates. Lots of the votes that McCain DID NOT get went to Romney and Huckabee too but they did VERY badly in the quest for delegates (in fact I have yet to read a report that claims that either of them received ANY!)
So, what are the MSM doing?
They are trying to convince those RON PAUL SUPPORTERS who are not attached to the grassroots movement as tightly as we are to stop wasting their time, sit back and watch McCain win the nomination and sail the convention.
They are SCARED! They know what we are doing and now, when they have played all of their cards regarding drop-outs, black-outs and call-outs, they have nothing left in the tank but downright lies.
So, what do WE do about it?!
EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING!
Dream, work hard, dream, convince a friend or family member, dream, donate, dream, march, dream, WIN!
Get everybody that you know to attend the primaries in your state and become delegates. Call your local state party HQ and ask if there are any delegate slots left to fill (lots have some, some have lots!) and get them filled with RP delegates.
People vote to demonstrate the popular vote. When was the last time the general public's wishes made the blindest bit of difference when it comes to policy? A vast majority of the US public (and the UK too) oppose the War In Iraq, and yet there we are, still there, and now looking at another 100 years stuck in the mire!
Don't stop...Now is the time to REDOUBLE our efforts.
This is not even CLOSE to over and the MSM know it!
