Dear Sir,
I like to present to you a simple but discouraging analysis upon the coming remaining primaries to show the probability that you both can or cannot deny Mr. Romney the outright nomination and force a brokered convention.
Each following line will list the state name by its first 3-4 letters, the model I use to estimate the delegate breakdown in parentheses( lib for liberal), total delegates allocated, and delegate shares designated with R for Romney, S for Santorum, and N for Newt.
(Based on delegate counts from Real Clear Politics which calculated Romney has 455, Santorum 199, and Newt 117 at the time I did this analysis.)
Ala...(Okla).....50...16R...17S...17N / Cali....(Wash)..172...129R...20S...23N/ Conn...(lib.)....28...28R/ Del....lib.)....17...17R/ DC....(lib).....19...19R/ Haw...(lib.)....20...20R/ Ill...(lib.)...69...69R/ Ind...Ohio.)...46....27R...19S/ Ken..(Kan)....45.....8R....37S/ Loui.(Okla.).46....15R.....15S....16N/ Mary..(lib)..37....37R/ Miss.(Okla.).40....13R....14S...13N/ Misso..(Tenn).52....15R....27S...10N/ Mont..(.Wyo)..26....26R/ Neb..(Minn.)..35...17R....18S/ NJ..(lib)...50.....50R/ NY..(lib.)..95.....95R/ NC..(Okl.).55.....25R...15S.....15N/ Ore..(lib)..28....28R/ Penn.(Mich.).72...30R..35S......7N/ RI..(lib.)..19....19R/ SDak.(Wyo.)..28...18R....10S/ TX..(Tenn/GA).155..44R...27S..84N/ Uta..(Wyo.)....40..40R/ WV..(Okla.)...31...15R..7S.....8N/ Wis.(NDak.)...42...14R..22S...6N/ Puerto..(lib).23..23R
Total.....857R
Romney now has 455, needs to have 1,144 for nomination. With projected 857 delegates, he will have 455 + 857 = 1312 delegates.
What should you do, Mr. Gingrich and Santorum?
1. One of you should drop out.
2. If one of you cannot quit, Mr. Gingrich, please do not campaign in the states which are projected by me that you might not win any delegate so that Mr. Santorum can most effectively take most delegates from Mr. Romney. (I say this with great deal of pain because I am your avid supporter for I admire your articulating skill, intelligence, courage, and vision, but I also know you will do the right thing for our country. As you and I both know, this is our last chance to take restore the beauty of USA we love so much.)
3. Mr Santorum should campaign in the most conservative districts where McCain in 2008 and Mr Gingrich in the less conservative Republican districts where Obama won in 2008, in order each get >50% votes , therefore, all delegates allocated, leaving none to Romney. CAMPAIGN AT DISTRICT LEVEL, NOT STATE ANY MORE.
4. Most importantly wherever you go, DO NOT tear each other up, but attack Romney especially on PRO-SAME-SEX-MARRIAGE in Massachusetts and on ROMNEYCARE/RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, and ABORTION, maybe GUN RIGHT also.
The issue of same-sex marriage alone will devastatingly prove once for all that Romney is truly an extreme liberal in disguise!!! Please exploit it!
They may as way and fight. If Obama Lite 9Romney) is the GOP nominee, then Obama Real wins another 4 years and this Country is truly SCREWED................

Good points. Any way of ensuring delivery?

But you assume Gingrich and Santorum are on the “anybody but Romney” train. They’re not. They are in this for themselves. They want the nomination, and they don’t want to fall on their swords to give it to the other “non-Romney.”
I believe that you missed some of the winner take all rules in the delegate counts.
(Based on delegate counts from Real Clear Politics which calculated Romney has 455, Santorum 199, and Newt 117 at the time I did this analysis.)

I took into account state-wise and district winner-take-all options from most states. Of course I will miss some technicalities here and there but the whole picture does look gloomy.
If my projections are being verified one by one, my letter will be acknowledged somehow. You guys will deliver it. And I will repost it if it is proven later.
