It's interesting how the GOPe’s narrative is changing as it is looking more and more likely Romney wont have the delegates to clinch the nomination before the convention.
Now they are saying he's going to win anyway even without the delegates..all righty then that takes care of that..NOT
Its been my opinion all along that if Romney cant clinch the nomination before the convention he is toast at the convention.
Even the thick headed GOPe would be forced to nominate a conservative if they would have any chance of winning the election and thus keep their jobs.
Actually, if Rick used his head- they could keep Rom under 800. He should have let Newt win Ala and Miss- and now La.
Letting Newt win, doesn’t hurt Rick because Newt can’t amass enough delegates to win outright. As Newt wins, he remains viable- and there’s no better force than Newt to continue to chop Romney down to size.
Also, it allows the maximization of the anti Rom limited financial resources- allowing them to compete in their strongest states one on one.
Romney is outspending Rick 7 to 1 in Ill— rick is thick- but hopefully he’ll come to realize that no one can compete against unlimited resources-— Newt understood that after Fla.
