Mitt Romney, needing 46% of the votes

He doesn't need 46% of the vote. He needs 46% of the delegates. That could take as little as 30% of the vote depending on how many other candidates are running and how he does in winner take all states.

Furthermore, there are only around 200 delegates available in WTA primaries left. Hardly enough to support your 30% number.

Don't count California in your WTA column, it is WTA by Congressional District which means it is basically a proportional state.
