I will NEVER vote for him.
At first, I was not going to vote. Now, I have decided that I am going to write in Romney's name.

This is copied from someone who was there...from Ronpaul forum...
"We had three Huckabee National Convention delegates let us know in person that they would step down. We had no such personal contact from the Romney people and so we had some doubts that any of their delegates would volunteer to step down once Romney won. It was a very tough decision for the Ron Paul supporters. Speeches were made, rationals listed, and in the end, it was a unanimous vote by all the Ron Paul delegates at our meeting room."
So you can not blame the campaign or Ron Paul himself, the delegates made the decision, if you are so mad about it, be mad at them.
AND WEST VIRGINIA HAS NOT HAD THEIR PRIMARY

So is there anyway now that it could be possible to have a brokered convention?

Everyone can come to their own conclusion and do whatever they want.
Our ONLY hope has quit today.
However, I will NOT support Paul, Huckabee, or McCain.
I am going to write in Romney's name.

Thanks to all for the explanations, I think I get the picture.

Ron Paul is NOT responsible for people who chose NOT to vote for Romney.
I would never recommend to anyone not to vote. It is our right as US citizens to have a voice in how our nation is run, and while it may be a SMALL voice, it's still an important responsibility. As for writing in Romney, I say "Go for it!" I'll probably be writing in Ron Paul myself.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

I might be wrong, but it seems unlikely that Romney will jump back into the race. I fully expect Huckabee to drop out within a week or two, but from what I've been hearing it sounds like Romney is looking ahead and trying to figure out what his role will be in the Republican party. William Bennett said on CNN yesterday that he thinks Romney will stay in politics, and even mentioned he would make a very fine chairman of the Republican National Committee down the road. I think he has a bright future in politics, and that we'll be seeing him play a prominent role in some capacity. Take heart.

So, I will write in Romney's name-----and hope that we have strong anti-illegal candidates in both the senate and congress.
