"...or we can avoid making any sacrifices and hope for a Hail Mary pass, when the odds and delegate allocation rules say that decision is likely to lead to a flat-out Romney nomination by June."

what's the Hail Mary Pass? And I don't really get what you are saying... just keep on keeping on...? I think what he was saying was - Romney isn't Mr. Electability any longer... that was what I got mostly from it..

I agree with you, though, on being a realist. And people are doing all kinds of cartwheels to say optimistic, and I want to be realistically optimistic... sigh sigh sigh. Sigh.

By Hail Mary pass, I mean some event that would seriously hurt Romney's popularity, or seriously increase Newt or Rick's. These projections are obviously not based on any drastic shifts in the candidates' popularity, but are expecting future states to perform as past similar states did.

So I'm saying the decision for both Newt and Rick to stay in is most likely going to lead to a flat-out Romney nomination by June. All I'm saying is we just might be able to stop Romney if we consolidate all the support between one non-Romney, which will help us sock Romney in the jaw in the various types of winner-take-all states and districts coming, which make up 2/3rds of the remaining delegates.
