I think you’re wrong. If the idea is somehow to stop Romney, Santorum’s people have to support Newt in Louisiana, to get him to 3 states, and then support him in two other places, maybe North Carolina and Arkansas, to get him to 5. This way, Newt’s current delegates aren’t washed down the drain since the guy cannot be nominated.
As for getting Ron Paul to 5, first, I don’t think it can be done. They may be lost, right now, to Romney, and they be no way of stopping Romney. But, maybe Santurom’s people can work with Paul’s people in five of the caucus states to give Paul the plurality. If we can get Paul to 5, then they’ll have to vote for Paul on the first ballot, and this too will help prevent Romney from locking up the nomination.
A very interesting idea!
At least that's some good news. If we could kick that radical, hypocritical, profiteering crank out of the Republican party and arrest him for trespassing if he tries to enter the convention then that would be even better.
