In addition, even delegates that are binding can change their mind at the GOP convention if it goes beyond the first vote.  There have been stories of Ron Paul supporters undercover as supporters of other candidates so that if the convention becomes deadlocked, they'll be able to vote for Paul.

Forum Paultards: have any of you seen any actual Iowa precinct reports regarding county delegate selection? I've seen Paul campaign stuff saying they have the delegates to control the caucuses of "all the small counties" as well as some people claiming "statewide, 70% of county delegates are Paul supporters," but I haven't found any concrete or even anecdotal evidence to support these assertions.     

Bacontard: All you can get is hearsay from people that have been to these caucuses.  I'm optimistic, but it's a what and see for the upcoming county/state level conventions - however they do it in Iowa (I'm thinking Minnesota, since I've been in that process.)

What's a Bacontard? Someone who fanatically supports bacon?

If so, sign me up immediately.
Aye, in fact, I think I will change my profile stuff in support.

It looks like Santorum may have the most to loose if Paul's ninja delegates pull through for him.  So far, they'd impact, Iowa, Minnesotta, and Colorada, all states Santorum won.

The primary process is already a joke, I don't hate Paulites for exploiting this fact (I find it entertaining).  Maybe this will be a lesson to the GOP to get their act in order.

Even if crazy Paul antics could cause issues at the convention, no other candidate is going to try to depend on it; if Romney has the pledges (by whatever definition) of 1144 delegates in June, Santorum will drop out and endorse him.
I could imagine the establishment might try to take advantage of Paulite mischeif by promoting a compromise candidate.  The establishment doesn't like Romney, they merely tolerate him because all of the other options are worse.
