Really? How? By taking delegates away from the other conservatives?

So?

Or do you not realize that after a candidate drops out, they can instruct their delegates to vote for the person they endorse?

So if Romney gets 25% of the delegates nationwide, he’d have to find a way to scrounge 25% more, should no one hit the magic 50.0001%.

And vice-versa. Between Perry, Newt, and Santorum, they can hash out who’d get their delegates votes... overwhelming the 25% for Romney.

I’d say that, at least, one of the three will have to drop out after Super Tuesday... so their delegates would be up for grabs.


So, what’s that about ‘splitting the vote’?
