“Romney currently has 656”
Romney currently has only 573 bound delegates (committed to vote for him at the convention). He needs 571 more to get to 1144.
So far he got 40% of the total votes only. He would need to get 62% in order to get the missing delegates. If Newt has a real shot at stopping Mitt from getting to 1,144 then it will go to convention. THIS is doable. I’ve just read that North Carolina lawmakers are on the point of endorsing Newt.
