I hope so. The problem with all of this is only two state wins. Polls published recently don’t seem to corroborate his optimism. I voted for him here in Georgia, but I am not down with his optimism.

State wins are good for headlines but what matters more is delegates and he's 2nd to Romney in committed delegates even now.

I hope he wins AL and MS both. Everyone should continue on, taking delegates from Romney. It's unlikely either challenger can outright win the nomination now even if one left the race because some portion of their supporters will move to Romney who, for now, has more delegates than all three challengers combined.

South Carolina
Georgia
and we hope
Alabama
Mississippi

Why do you say only two states even if he wins Alabama and Mississippi?

He also got some delegates from TN and OK...also I think a few delegates from a few others...haven’t looked at the complete list by states but it’s out there.

He also promises to seek the support of Santorum’s soft delegates...meaning not bound to vote for him even on the first convention ballot.

The GOP E gave Romney the winner-take- all total from FL, when according to the rules FL was supposed to be punished for moving up their primary date in defiance of the RNC, by having half of their delegates removed.

There will be a floor fight over that issue at the convention.
