Can't vote for a liberal "reformer moderate with progressive views", as you described yourself, Mitt. You're in the wrong party. You should register to DNC.

The RNC has just desfranchized ALL the Republican voters in 19 states out of 50.

They don’t need your votes, folks.
Call RNC and tell them what you think:

202.863.8500

EXACTLY!

“Are there many grey-colored states left where people have not voted? Well, guess what New York voters? You don’t matter! Neither do voters in Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and any other state who has not yet apportioned their delegates. It doesn’t matter voters in these states could affect the outcome of this race, if enough people are told and believe that their voice is irrelevant, then it truly becomes irrelevant. After all, if someone believes that his or her vote will not make any difference, how many people would waste his or her time to go to the polls?”

We need to stop this nonsense and have closed primaries on the same day in all of the States.

Mitt had better enjoy that victory lap drink it in all he can... because it'll be the very last political win he'll ever have.

FULLY AGREE!

Mitt Romney will take a victory lap before members of the Republican National Committee when the party meets at an annual event in Scottsdale, Ariz., this week

Maybe he'll begin his "lap" in the hotel kitchen.

Romney is pre-ordained and annointed already by the RNC and GOP-e. Why even have a convention at this point if that’s their position?

The truth is that Romney does not have enough delegates to claim the title of Republican nominee. He has 573 bound delegates and needs 571 more. To claim otherwise is wishful thinking at best, and an outright lie at worst.

By calling the process over before it is over, as many RINOs, media and pundits are attempting to do, will likely create feeling of disenfranchisement and crack open greater fissures in the Republican base. After all, if a Gingrich or Paul supporter thought the system rigged or that his or her candidate were cheated through early disqualification, that belief might cause thousands of Republican voters to abandon the GOP “annointed one”.

Do you think if anyone but the GOPe candidate had only half the required delegates the media and GOPe would be saying “the race is over” and “we need to rally around so and so”? No chance.

The GOP already lost me by throwing Mitt at us. He’s not getting my vote... ever.

I still have a primary and I WILL vote for MY candidate, not the “anointed”!

They can stick it!

There are 2,286 delegates at stake in the 2012 Republican presidential primaries, that figure means that one candidate must accumulate 50% plus one in order to become the nominee, or 1144 delegates. ONLY 1,034 out of 2,286 delegates have been allocated so far, 101 of them unbound. So have any of the candidates reached the magic number? As of April 6th, the RNC had Romney’s pledged delegate at 573 or half of needed delegates.

Romney is NOT the nominee, far from it. He only won 4 million votes out of 11.5 million, or 41% of the total. 59% of the voters in primaries voted against him.
