Because until he meets the requirement, he is not - period. Until Romney reaches the require number of delegates - he is not. In fact, we are reaching the point where there are not enough state delagates LEFT IN PLAY, for him to lock up the nomination.
I am NOT fighting for or advocating that anyone else will lock up the nomination. I am fighting for a brokered convention where NO ONE has the nomination locked up.
OK, reasonable enough.
I agree that that would be as good an outcome as we could get right now. I also think the NY Mets winning the World Series this year would be great. I just don't see a glimmer of a chance that either will happen. Seriously, not a chance of a chance.
It won't be two weeks before Santorum is out of the race. Gingrich will hang around, but only because he promised he would hang around, and he's angling for something that isn't the nomination. Could be SOS or could just be higher speaking fees in the future.
For the record, I live in NJ. Whenever the hell this primary train rolls into my state, I'll be voting for Gingrich, mostly because he's not Romney.
But I know its just a protest vote. That's all I've ever had in a presidential primary.
