3. The question is what happens when they hit the winner-take-all primaries.

Through March, Paul can pick up delegates, and that makes it harder for anyone to lock up a majority of the delegates before the convention.

After April 1, the states can go winner-take-all, and most will. At that point, I think Paul might be siphoning off votes that could help one of the other contenders block Romney.

It would be nice if Paul got enough votes to encourage him to run on the Libertarian line, but my guess is that he won't.
