The Texas congressman will get 17 of the Louisiana's 46 delegates in
the
compromise, said Charlie Davis, who served as Paul's campaign
chairman
in Louisiana.
According to this development, Ron Paul will have less than a plurality of delegates from Louisiana attending the Republican National Convention.
Potentially, Ron Paul has the plurality of delegates in Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, Iowa, and Colorado according to TheRealDelegateCount2012.com. Virginia's delegates are bound, but that may not prevent them from putting Paul's name into nomination - given that they are familiar with the procedures to do so.
Maine has been in contention. The following excerpt is from Boston.com -
[Charlie] Webster says the [Republican National] [C]ommittee is now
telling Paul supporters and mainstream Republicans who challenged
them
they can each pick 10 delegates.
If they don't, the Republican National Committee will make the choices
for them.
for them.
Maine has a total of 24 delegates to the convention in Tampa, Fla. Of
the
remaining four, three will go to the assumed presidential nominee
Mitt
Romney. Webster, the final delegate, remains uncommitted.So, now it appears that the RNC has successfully stolen Ron Paul's majority of delegates in Maine. Instead, the Pine Tree State will have a majority delegation in favor of Mitt Romney. This may not be the final word, but it seems so.
That leaves Minnesota, Nevada, Iowa, and Colorado where Ron Paul still has the plurality of delegates. Will Virginia assist in putting Paul's name in for nomination at the RNC? Is there still time?
