I don’t know where NYTimes gets 1,143. Add up the remaining states on their list and it totals 986. So Romney needs to lose about half of the upcoming delegates to be denied the nomination

Add in “defecting” delegates and a challenge to the AZ and FL winner-take-all rules and he can lose some more.

Newt probably can’t win the nomination outright, but Romney is a far length from doing it himself, which means this could easily become a floor fight at the convention if people keep voting for Newt and don’t let Romney get to #1 in most of the upcoming states.

Sorry but your numbers are the ones that don't add up. That is you have missing delegates, over 300 of them. Super delegates or non pledged ones from various states.

And even if you are right Romney will get over 50% if the remaining delegates.

No way Gingrich gets enough votes to deny Romney the nomination. No Way.

Thank you, Madame Ruby. Can you pass me some winning lottery numbers for this week while you're at it, oh magnificent prognosticator? We've been hearing Mitt's inevitable for a LONG time. Yet he still insisted on spending millions of dollars attacking the other candidates. We have 9 days for the next round of voters to reconsider. If the Romneybots stay home assuming he's the winner, and the CONSERVATIVE activists show up, he could be in for a rude awakening.
