Despite John McCain's building political momentum, Mitt Romney said Saturday he does not expect the Republican presidential nomination to be settled during the coming week and he is planning to continue campaigning beyond Super Tuesday.
The former Massachusetts governor said the number of states up for grabs, his prospects of succeeding in some of the 20-plus GOP contests that day, as well as a growing concern within the Republican Party about conferring the nomination on McCain give him reason to fight on.

You are deluded and hopeless. Everything you said is false...except about McCain.
What part of "non-binding" do you not understand? Maine's delegates are NON-BINDING, which means if McCain wins the nomination, they're going to go to HIM. So Romney's "victory" is about as significant as winning a straw poll.
And McCain is polling higher than Romney in winner-take-all states such as NY and NJ. There is a thread on FR about Romney already conceding the Northeastern states to McCain. There is no delegates for coming in 2nd in New York state.
It's OVER for Romney. He will win Utah and maybe Colorado & that's that. But please, by all means, keep screaming that we need to support a RINO to keep another RINO from winning the nomination.
BTTT
Let me express some points of view on your post.
Romney has been endorsed by several strong pro-lifers. He is not a pro-choice presidential candidate. Even when he ran as a pro-choice candidate as a Senator and governor (which he no longer does, his change of heart has been recounted before), he made it clear his own view was pro-life. His judges would be constitutionalists. That should give a pro-life voter hope.
As far as gay marriage, he worked against the Massachusetts gay marriage decision. If you choose to believe otherwise, you ignore the facts.
Regarding socialist health care, you're wrong again. Mitt's state made the deadbeats get their own insurance. The state was already paying for the health care of these people...what is more important is that the bulk of the health care providers were from the private sector and not a Hillary-care Government plan.
I cannot speak to Liberal judges, as I am not familiar with how many he appointed. I can say he was in a state where 80% of the legislature was Democrat, and that there are reports that John McLame didn't care for Sam Alito...so the alternative doesn't really make me feel good.
The "Catholic Hospitals" you make a good point about. And Romney is wrong about that--he should have stood his ground when the issue first came up, though perhaps he was told by counsel his stand wouldn't hold up in court. I am pleased that his initial reaction was to agree with the hospitals, though. He should have worked harder to get something done that would have exempted the hospitals.
Why don’t you let people vote before you say it’s over? It surely is NOT. Have some respect for those yet to vote, which by the way is the vast majority of Republicans. They will decide not you.
Stop it. You'll have them throwing a tantrum.
Wow, Romney wins only Utah and maybe Colorado. And you are gauranteeing that. By all means, kindly start a thread boasting just that prediction. Go ahead, do it. I might even stop by and comment on it after the results are in.
Btw, do continue to rant all you want. Romney won the vote in the NE state of Maine. That won't ever change.
I beg to differ, but even if I was wrong about Romney, which I am not, it pales in comparison to McCain’s willingness to dump the Republican party for the chance of running as Kerry’s VP. That just dosen’t fill me with confidence in him as my president. I couldn’t trust him. If he’s willing to sacrifice his conservative principles, it shows me he has no integrity. That’s the action of a man who is in it for himself.
So there ya go.
Win, Mitt, win.
Plain and simple, Romney won’t ever beat Hillary or Obama.
He is a recent convert to all things conservative.
That makes him a phony.
He is too willing to say what he thinks people want to hear.
Romney is obsessed with power. He will cling to the race for as long as he can. His ego needs this.
we need to support a RINO to keep another RINO from winning the nomination.
We just forget about naafta illegal immigration and stay in Iraq forever so we can hand over to Iran a country that is at peace and rich and mandates that NO LAW SHALL CONTRADICT ISLAM.
Ron Pual, if he grows a pair and decides we should smash Tehran ... gets my vote.
Doesn't mean a thing. The delegates are what counts. And Dr. Paul won 35% of the delegates, coming in 2nd to Romney.
