Only thing certain is death & taxes. So obviously it is not 100% certain who will be the nominee. There are some very large and expensive states coming up. Grassroots won’t cut it. Must have millions of $$ to put ads on TV & radio. CA & NY are prohibitively expensive and not any where as conservative as MS & AL. Santorum has one large donor to fund his super pack. If that donor shells out more millions, we could go into brokered convention. If not, Romney has a good chance to get 1144 after Utah.

Won't matter.

He still won't get 46% of the remaining votes.

You're dreaming if you think he will.

The base is waking up to the facts of Romney's Progressive Liberal record and the fact that he is both unelectable in the general election as a result of that record and that he is not inevitable.

Romney is toast!

Futhermore, he needs 46% of the remaining vote to win the nomination outright, he won’t get 46% of the remaining vote and each primary he does not get 46% of the vote, that percentage only goes higher.

It is not a static percentage as times goes on.

So after he loses Texas and a number of other states, and wins several in the 30% range, the percentage of votes he needs to win in the remaining states will be above 55% and probably closer to 60%.

Like I said, he can’t win outright.
