Orange..impossible and this is why:
Rick will field no delegates In Ill.
He will field none in TN, either.
He is not on the ballot in IN
He is not on the ballot in DC
He is not on the ballot in VA
He will not field any delegates in ND
He is not on the ballot in 20% of OH
He could not even try to compete in the first big state of FL, and has already said as much about CA and NY.
Here’s the bad news:
Delegates are going to be pledged; and no matter how much you beg, they aren't’t going to be assigned to Rick Santorum later just because you really want them to be.... And really, in that above scenario, TN is the only one that assigns them later, anyway....... Rick CANNOT win the nomination. He CANNOT. ...
There is NO PATH to 1140+ delegates for him, period.
(Special acknowledgment to TITANS for his fact finding info and comments)
IN, not important.
ND, not important.
DC, are you joking?
VA, yes this matters but Newt’s not getting any delegates there either. In fact, it’s possible that all the Gingrich and Santorum supporters in VA could vote for Ron Paul just to deny Romney the delegates.
OH, that still means there is 80% he can compete in.
The GOOD NEWS is that very few delegates have been decided yet and nothing is impossible with God. The ONLY way Santorum gets the nomination is if God wills it but if God wills it, nothing is impossible. We shall see whether HE chooses to step in and rescue this country from communism. That’s why we should all pray.
