It should not matter how many candidates there are, and if it does, it's because of bad rules.

Romney needs more than half of the 2268 delegates. He has not yet gotten, and probably won't get, more than 35% in any primary.

Therefore, whether the other 65% of the votes go to one guy, or a hundred, shouldn't matter.

Saying Romney is "winning" with vote levels of 25%-35% is stupid.

Correct.

The thing is, will anyone besides rupaul hang in for the entire campaign.

If it ends up 41% for mittens, 35% for the non-romney that remains and 16% for rupaul while the rest go to the other two non-romneys {that have departed}.

That would mean a brokered convention and rupaul would become everyone's new best friend.

Yikes!!
