If Mitt Romney truly does win California, will it, along with everything else that happens on Super Tuesday, be enough to truly keep Mitt running for POTUS beyond Super Tuesday?
Likely, yes.

I think so. With the Northeast WTA troika, there’s no doubt that McCain will win more delegates tomorrow. That can’t be helped. The question is, what happens after? The calculus of the decision will be dependent on whether Romney has a reasonable chance of clinching the nomination by competing in the 20 or so remaining states. Though a CA victory would only net Romney maybe 30-50 delegates, it would be a massive psychological boost that would greatly enhance his chances of overcoming the inevitable deficit.
One thing’s for sure: Romney will continue to need our grassroots support (phone calls, etc.) and our donations if he’s to keep going. If he does well enough tomorrow, though, I think conservatives will come through.
