This is worth repeating:

Romney has 24 delegates and his closest competitor Mike Huckabee has 18

Doesn't look to me like Romney is losing.

It also bears repeating that no candidate is going to have thw 1,191 delegates necessary to win the nomination outright. It’s doubtful that even two candidates will have enough together. It will take two like-minded candidates teaming up plus additional endorsements or defections for anyone to secure the nomination, and that won’t happen until the convention in September. In the end I think only Thompson has the ability to get enough delegate defections from all of the various GOP factions, and Romney will strike a deal trading delegates for the VP slot.
