Right now, a lot of the 900+ bound romney delegates are actually Ron Paul people. Not only that, but key leadership positions in the local and state GOP have been won by Ron Paul people in almost every state convention that has happened (so far, only 8-10 states have had theirs).
Because the delegates going to the state conventions are usually decided by the results of the smaller local conventions that have already occurred, and it is known that Ron Paul people have won anywhere from 50% to overwhelming majorities in those smaller contests, when the state conventions happen, romney and the RNC cannot do anything within the rules to stop them from voting in their delegates to the RNC. Some states they have also won the superdelegate slots.
The state conventions are something worth watching these days. Here's what happened last weekend when the OK governor told everyone to vote for mitt:

She won't be getting reelected. There's 5 or 6 going on this weekend, and should be seeing live streaming popping up more, now that it has proven to be an asset.
Whatever these delegates do in Tampa, it will be done by the book. But when they have a majority, they can make sure everyone else does, too.
