If Romney loses Ohio, Gingrich and Santoerum must DEMAND that he withdraw from the race. If six years and sixty million dollars can not deliver THE MUST WIN STATE for a Republican, He has to go!
It’s like the wierdest western you ever watched.
2 grasshoppers will chew each other’s face off...3 can’t do that, anatomically. Or 4, counting Paul.
Romney can’t spend enough to chew his opponent’s face off, because there is no one opponent. He’s fighting the SoCons and the FisCons, the Paulite-Libertarians and the Evangelical rejecters of Mormonism.
Brokered Convention- here we come!
However, if he doesn't win OH, Romney may very well not reach the magic number of delagates, even if he wins CA and NY.
Sure, at this point Romney has over half the votes and he will just listen and pull out. Dream on.
I think a brokered convention will likely give the nomination to who ever has the most delegates.
Right on, bro. Mitt’s got NOTHING that could beat O. Nothing. It would be an O landslide......
They start dealing in the backrooms for votes and anything can happen.
That's why there's talk of introducing someone else if it's brokered...to try to win the delegates who are digging their heels in.
Those delegate numbers are low when they have to get to 1100+. With those numbers, it looks like the race has just started. Strange year. Convention here we come.
If Santorum wins Ohio, he may only have bragging rights. Ohio is a proportional state, and Santorum may lose 45 delegates right off because certain counties or precincts he didn’t get on their ballot in time, or something like that. Romney may still get a larger share of the delegates in Ohio, even if Santorum wins the popular vote.
To be nominated, a candidate must collect a majority of the total of 2287 delegates.
"Most" won't do it. It has to be a majority.
I think that if Santorum wins OH and ND that could put him ahead.
And Texas is still waiting in the wings with a huge amount of delegates. I don’t think Romney will win Texas, probably Gingrich with Perry’s backing.
I sure hope so. Would it be a Santorum/Gingrich ticket?
What part of BROKERED don’t you understand???
Now re read what you responded to!
in other words Mitt wins eventually
No, I’m pretty sure Romney would not take TX.
CA is winner-take-all?
Here it is.
I think a brokered convention will likely give the nomination to who ever has the most delegates.
Romney will arrive at the convention with the most delegates. You are saying that a brokered convention would award him the nomination simply because he had the most delegates.
Which is incorrect.
Did you mean to say something other than what you wrote?
Does it matter which republican wins California New York or...........Massachusetts?
Romney is the Viagra candidate as was Bob Dole..
Soooo... will the right choose a candidate who has always been about standing in line for 3 hours for a 30 second ride..or will we finally wise up?
Here’s to hoping the GOPee has finally learned how to play Rope-A-Dope!
That's a whole lot of delegates that go a long way toward earning the GOP nomination.
However, if Santorum gets OH, it hinders Romney quite a bit even though he's favored in CA/NY.
