It's all just a guessing game and do you think the mainstream is ever going to guess in favor of ron paul?
After Super Tuesday Is Ron Paul Still Second in the Delegate Count? | allanstevo.com
I didn't see this above so I'll post it:

Our buddy Ben Swann explains the delegate situation pretty well.
If we were going of a popular vote they'd just rig the machines and be done with it and if they used paper ballots the republican party would just have the county chairman cheat for them.

He owes us at least this much for pulling out this early.
This political race has got boring real fast.
Santorum needs a TV show. Give him a show with Spitzer.
What a bunch of Establishment-slanted crap you've found there! You even managed to include CNN. Wow.
Look, even if you don't believe that the establishment is clearly out to screw Paul over hard, surely you can see, just by the news stories on all of these places' front pages, that they are clearly hiding ALL good news about the Paul campaign by now, right?
Every single day Paul's campaign does something newsworthy like draw a huge Crowd Romney can't ever hope to match or wipe up every delegate in a state... A State that he didn't even win the popular vote in.
Yet if you look at the front page of each of the four rags you just quoted, Do you see ANY positive press about Paul, At ALL? Usually they only ask him when he's going to quit.
Anyone who can't see how wrong and slanted that alone is needs to stick to a life of burger flipping.
So why would you ever use these sources to decide the "real" delegate count?
To get a better count, (I'm not claiming it's perfect) Lemon Global here is a 3rd-party Delegate counter. Here is their Post-Santorum-Dropout pair of updates:
ASSUMING FROTHY'S BOUND DELEGATES STAY BOUND IN THE FIRST ROUND OF VOTING:
ASSUMING THOSE STATES VOTE TO RELEASE THEIR DELEGATES FOR THE FIRST ROUND, OR ASSUMING THE SECOND ROUND OF VOTING:
And as for those Newt delegates, those are more likely to flow to Paul than to Romney too... Newt Constantly sucked up to Paul in the debates and his base is some of the most conservative in the nation. (Somehow.)
When will we get those? I'm guessing today or tomorrow. Here's why:
ABC News said:
And we're going to vote for Paul's home state of Texas with their Ton of delegates next month... Which is ALREADY lining up the huge crowds for Paul:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDVfC24pBk8]3,000+ Pack Texas A&M at Ron Paul Rally! - YouTube[/ame]
That's from a smaller town in Texas called College Station last night, where Texas A&M is located. Today is Ft. Worth, and Tomorrow will be San Antonio. Clearly Paul is going to wipe up in his home state... Which has the 2nd highest number of Delegates and electors of all... More than enough to surpass Romney if he does well!
Swann's the man. I think he must have compromising pictures of his boss at Faux news Cincinnati and uses them to do these spots to inject fairness into this campaign... This must be like his 10th Fair-handed reporting piece... Surely by now he's on someone hitlist.

Interesting. Yeah I don't follow this nearly as close as you do, I have my reservations about your theory, but I hope you're right and I'm interested to see how it all pans out.
I like Ron Paul and want him to get elected, but calling other people's news sources slanted while quoting delegate counts from a Blogspot blog run by a teenager and calling it not biased and not slanted is rather comical.
...Or it is a necessary reflection of the fucked-up state of affairs we suffer under?
So funny I'm crying...
Santorum will be the frontrunner in 2016, watch. After Mittens loses the GOP will not accept a "moderate" candidate again and will go hard right. And Santorum will be right there for the direction to swing his way and with an existing infrastructure. On top of that, many of the GOPs eventual nominees had previously finished 2nd during the previous election. They have a pecking order.
Now imagination the very likely 2016 matchup between some untested Democrat and Rick Santorum and tell me you aren't shitting yourself right now.

American politics is helluva complicated. Why the hell is the selection process so byzantine? At least in our country we don't even make a pretence of it being democratic.
