OMG, this is a nightmare. PLEASE GOD, TELL ME HOW I AM WRONG!
Go to the RCP delegate count page. I am using their numbers, they may be off a little but not much. Print it off. Add up the number of total delegates left (bound and unbound, winner take all and proportional.) You will get 1475. It takes 1144 to win. So right now:
Romney needs 740 Santorum needs 983 Gingrich needs 1039 Paul needs 1414
That means:
Romney needs to win 50% of the delegates left to clinch.
Santorum needs to win (get this!!) 66.66% of the delegates left to clinch
Gingrich needs to win 70% of the delegates left to clinch.
Now, go through the list, be intellectually honest with yourself, and pull out the delegates that you know Romney will win, no matter who and how many candidates are still in or out.

Nice. Sanctimonium? LMAO.
I’m pushing facts. You’re pushing your agenda. I don’t think RS can win in the general. Neither can Newt or Romney. Just like McCain, Romney and Huckabee couldn’t in 3008. Those are the facts. Not what you want them to be.
LMAO, I wouldn’t know what you deem is “an informed, unignorant (sic) nonhateful Santorum supporter.” It’s hard to get past your IGNORANT projection. “Unignorant” sorta threw me, lol.
I’ll vote for Newt or Santorum in the primary, not that it matters much. And I will vote for ABO in the gereral.
But you can go right back to fighting with those on your side. Don’t let me interrupt your hatefest. The Dems appreciate your support.
I responded to you in the same tone as your post, which preceded mine. Why don’t you take your cynicism, duplicity and arrogance, and go back to your time warp...
Because do the math. He doesn’t have a bat’s chance in hell of winning the nom..and he knows it.
He has said that he would leave if he loses Mississippi and Alabama. But he needs to let Rick win those to strengthen Santorum’s chances to DEFEAT ROMNEY.
I’m not anti Newt. He’d be a great press secretary or some other important job in the administration: Secretary of State!
Read all the online comments - so many people are for Newtie
Online support does not translate into votes.
That was the guy!
His point was that they are proportional, mit would still get plenty of delegates even in the likely event Santo took NY and CA. Combined with the handful of northeastern winner take all states, mit would go to convention with a clear majority albeit not enough.
It’s Never, tbf...for Newt being the nominee.
But as some wise Freepers have said, Sec. of Defense, Press Sec, an ambassador would be a great fit for Newt and probably more to his liking anyway.
He and Rick need to come out together and vow to take out Romney. Now there’s a plan!
