All jurisdictions should move to primaries and scrap the caucus method.

Republican primaries should be open to registered Republicans only.

Democratic primaries should be open to registered Democrats only.

All jurisdictions should have delegates awarded in proportion to their percentage of the popular vote received.

The drawback I see, however, is this may lead to no candidate receiving a majority of the delegates by the time of the convention, in a hotly contested nomination race.

Agreed, though with a cutoff below which you don't get any delegates.  The Dems' 15% is pretty reasonable, but I could see a case for reducing it to 10%.

Yes, you are correct, there has to be a certain threshold before delegates can be awarded.

So is there any last-chance hope for Paul?

No, even after Washington County results, which Paul won, Romney still holds a 156 vote lead statewide overall.
