At this stage in the game they aren't allowing anything and short of offing him they've done everything to extinguish the RP movement before it picked up any steam, and apparently they've failed. It is though still early in the primary race and there are lots of battles to still be decided after Iowa so they still have ample opportunity to pull any number of hijinx in this war. Starting it off on a positive note is mandatory for us because it broadens the freedom message and allows for people to see Ron Paul as a viable candidate regardless of what the talking heads say.

Now, lets pretend that the Iowa scenario played out the same in the majority of the other states and RP had a majority going into the convention. Are the GOP higher ups willing to burn down the party to in their eyes save it by snubbing RP against the will of the people? IDK, maybe, probably? I think they'd have to swallow it and nominate him even if they only planned to half ass support him.

Ok, he's the guy to beat Obama and the majority of Americans are fed up with his brand of BS and where they see the country headed and somehow, by some miracle between the voting machines and the electorate process RP wins and becomes POTUS. The banking elite could pull the carpet knowing that RP has them in his sights, of course that would raise mega questions of the folks who are even somewhat awake and with a POTUS who isn't afraid to call them out, throw them out and expose them with us behind him I'd say they're the ones in a pickle.

Realize, I'm laying out a totally wild scenario here but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
