Can Mitt Still Win?

Can Mitt still win?

Frankly, no – the arithmetic makes it all but impossible

The Republicans have already chosen most of their delegates, and Romney has won only 256 of the 1,417 chosen so far—some 18%.

To get the delegates he needs to lock up the nomination, Romney would not only have to improve his performance, he’d have to become virtually perfect – winning 934 of the 963 delegates who haven’t yet been chosen. Unless all other candidates dropped out of the race, there’s no way anyone will scoop up more than 97% of the delegates remaining. Even if Mitt gives the greatest speech of his life at tomorrow’s conference of CPAC (the Conservative Political Action Committee) he can’t win enough delegates to become this year’s nominee.

You just got used to nobody getting your little joke.

Now we can give each other the secret hand-signal in passing. I can Sheridan you “I can’t understand what you’re talking about,” and you can Kosh me “Gooood.”

I don’t think the Huckster will back out until he gets a quid pro quo.

He doesn’t have the class Romney has.
