He might, but I was more focused on whether Romney gets to 1,144 not which non-Romney candidate wins. I assumed Gingrich drops out prior to April 1.
Of course, if two non-Romney candidates continue to split the non-Romney vote, then Romney will clean up the winner take all states. I don’t assume for a second that 100% of Gingrich votes would go to Santorum but I imagine a 2/3 - 1/3 split in favor of Santorum.
...THREE non-Romney candidates. I know there are Paul supporters who would also support a very strong Conservative candidate.
Ron Paul may be using his block of support to assist Romney’s bid; it appears that he is. But not all of those in the Paul column are not necessarily transferable directly to the Romney column.
