But of course the Not-Romney delegate count is going up faster than the Romney delegate count. That’s the key. That’s why there will be a brokered convention.
So, as of this morning, Romney has won 41 delegates from Tuesday’s contests, compared to 35 for Santorum, thereby expanding Romney’s delegate lead. (Gingrich is projected to have won 24 delegates.)Interesting that Wapo can't do the basic math:
41 Romney delegates vs. (35+24)=59 non-Romney delegates
Don’t count Paul. He will give his delegates to Romney in exchange for either VP or some other impt job.
Pray he doesn’t get many more delegates.
The winner-take-all states are the big concern. Plus, Romney will take Calif and NY.
Santorum will get Penn and maybe Gingrich will get Tx, but his 2nd & 3rd place performances won’t make it easy for Perry to sell him.
Gingrich would have been formidable had he represented a solid south. Instead, he looks weak.
I think that folks are looking at how candidates can be defeated and Gingrich took it on the chin in Florida. Folks are afraid that will be repeated.
goes all the way and Col Allen West step in and run on our ticket..

well I can dream can’t I
Bingo. The Gingrich folks in Illinois REALLY need to think long and hard about how they are going to vote on the 20th. Were Romney to lose that he’d truely be shaken. The sad part is that there is no Reagan type candidate waiting in the wings. A brokered convention could end up with a Daniels/Bush ticket or something. Duncan Hunter really should have run this time. I think he would have caught fire long before Gingrich or Santorum.
