Its clearly obvious that the politically informed conservatives are rallying around Mitt but will it be enough? A week ago I talked to a few folks here in NY whom are registered republicans and they don’t even know who Mitt Romney is!! If he only had a few more weeks to boost his national credibility. His lack of notoriety along with undercurrent of anti-mormonism is really hurting him in this primary cycle. He looks great in the debates against that crusty old curmugdeon, but nobody is watching them.
I'm sure Mitt has a high end number of candidates he can be behind McCain after Tuesday, probably around 250 delegates. With about 1,000 candidates to win, 26 states and territories from here until Nebraska 33 delegates in 12 July, he will stay in the race. McCain will have shot his W_d, to be somewhat blunt after NY, Conn and NJ states.
The point is there is enough time to stop McCain.
