I guess that said poster is a relative of Mr. Paul.
Not a relative... but Ron Paul will take the Texas delegates at the state convention on June 7.

CNN is estimating that Romney will get 105 delegates and Ron Paul will get 18. Maybe some of Ron Paul's supporters will end up as Romney delegates, but they will be bound to vote for Romney in Tampa.

That's a CNN estimate. Totally fabricated to herd in the sheeple... It's the other way around... Romney has threatened to sue the Massachusetts delegates that went to Ron Paul. But he can't do that with all the delegates in Tampa... It's over for Romney.

The MA delegates may be Paul supporters, but they are bound to vote for Romney in Tampa.

All the bound Romney delegates who are Paul supporters are still bound to vote for Romney in Tampa.

The MA delegates went to Ron Paul... Romney has threatened to sue them after losing them fair and square...

Looks like the Republican Party will invoke Rule 38 at the convention... It's over for Romney...

I'm well aware of that. Texas has a recurring problem with gerrymandering and it comes back to bite us frequently, like it did this year.

Result: an essentially meaningless primary in a presidential election year.
