| If the count of 723 delegates for McCain is correct, Ron Paul's only chance at winning is if he and Huckabee split at least 526 of the remaining states' delegates and they enter a brokered convention. McCain is heavily disliked by Republicans (as evidenced by him being booed at CPAC this year), and I don't think Huckabee's bible-thumping would go over too well with more moderate voters come the Presidential election, so Paul (y'know, a conservative in both name and practice) would likely get the nomination.
Of course, 526 delegates is a lot of votes to sway in ones favor, but it's still not 100% impossible for Paul to get the nod.
