Short answer: no. Long answer: No, but he can seize control of the party apparatus and decide the policy planks.

Longer answer: No, but he can seize control of a good chunk of the state parties and a portion of the national one, decide the policy planks, use the GOP's procedures against it to slow up the convention and mess up the scripting, select the convention chair, declare Vice President Paul, and in short do this, except in prime time for all the TV cameras to the Rominee itself.
Rominee Tongue I like that.

I really do need to get myself over to Tampa sometime, but high school starts like three days before the convention starts...
The convention takes place a week or two after I start my Sophomore year. But, I have a slight chance of going to the RNC through my volunteer work for Hasner's congressional campaign, and the fact that my dads friends son is the executive director of the state party.

If Ron Paul and his followers do not make a national news headline during convention week, all Paultards should be permabanned for wasting the Atlas Forum's time with their ineffective movement.

One headline is all they need.  He doesn't have to win the nomination.  Put marijuana legalization in the platform.   Boo Romney during his acceptance speech.  Reject the vice presidential choice in favor of Rand Paul.  Anything.  Just do something.
I have an idea....

WERE GONNA BURN DOWN THE FEDERAL EXPRESS!

(If, for whatever reason, this is seen as a threat, its really a South Park joke)
