It isn't locked up until the delegates have their say in September, and not a moment before. FWIW, I hope there is an upset at the convention and even if Paul loses, I hope he gives McCain a run for his money. With this happening I will get the pleasure of seeing the MSM eat crow and humble pie for dessert. Or they'll just be backpedalling like a mu'lova.

Paul is staying in for whatever continued attention he can get and his 'presidential' campaign (and funds) are surely also helping his congressional seat run ("indirectly" of course). Mr. Fiscal Conservative. Spending people's money where it has the most impact. For him. Huh. Interesting.

Paul is staying in because his supporters want him to stay in and the campaign funds are still coming in (albeit at a much slower pace). When the convention is decided or the funds and support dries up, then and only then will he concede--and not a moment before.
