Political Fantasy....in the libertarian world.

"Romney has won nothing!!"

"With the Tampa convention being the fat lady this event is far from over."

Those are just some of the comments Ron Paul supporters made Tuesday when they learned that Mitt Romney clinched the Republican presidential nomination with a victory in the Texas primary.

"I am honored that Americans across the country have given their support to my candidacy and I am humbled to have won enough delegates to become the Republican Party's 2012 presidential nominee," Romney said in a statement released by his campaign. "On November 6, I am confident that we will unite as a country and begin the hard work of fulfilling the American promise and restoring our country to greatness."

As much as I dislike Ron Paul supporters, they do have a point. Mitt Romney didn't actually clinch anything - the nominee is selected based on the votes of the delegates at the Republican Convention
