Just wait until Romney wins winner-take-all states like Puerto Rico (23), Maryland (37 delegates), DC (19), Delaware (17), California (172), New Jersey (50), and Utah (40). [Not sure if he’ll win winner-take-all Wisconsin (42).] Those wins add up to 358 more delegates. If he wins those and loses Wisconsin, Romney only need 33% of the remaining from the proportional states.

Sorry to break it to you, but as already discussed on this thread, California is not a winner-take-all state.

It is a Congressional District WTA state effectively making it proportional, which meand your 358 just became 189.

Which also means your 33% is north of 40%.
