Of course.

Paul won't do that. He's too stuborn. He'll run until the very end. And you're right in thinking it doesn't make sense. But that's his game.

All I care about is splitting the GOP vote. The less people vote for McCain, the better.

What I was saying is that at this point, considering the delegates, Obama would have to be cheated to lose the Dem nomination. And yes, I suspect that if he were cheated, a lot of his supporters would not vote Dem, which could result in a GOP white house (as I said).
I might vote Green again.

Might end up with McCain keeping enough of his base together to eek out a plurality, but with a lot of pissed-off people on both sides, and a potentially strong Democratic Congress with a weak Republican president.

A strong Dem congress is WAY more important than the presidency. I don't know why people can't grasp that. This is why I was so disappointed in 2006 and why I was especially disappointed that the Dem majority has crumbled on several key issues. The power is in the House and Senate. As soon as someone gets those car crashes under control, we can start undoing the damage Bush has done.
