“that leaves just Fred, Ron Paul, and None of the Above.”

Except that I think Mitt has too much ego and pride to endorse someone else. It would be a hard pill for him to swallow to endorse someone who fished behind him in both Iowa and New Hampshire. For that reason, I think Romney limps to the finish line instead, making sure to get his money’s worth.
