Rick might have won AL and MS, which was not shocking since Santorum runs solely on prolife, antigay marriage and appeals to the born again Christians. Both AL and MS are made up of 80% from this group. Nevertheless, but Gingrich and Romney kept both races close and Romney won HI and AS. That put him in the lead last time for delegates won, which Gingrich right only a few delegates behind Santorum.

FYI: Ron Paul left the night with another goose egg, but he still has a chance to win! :badgrin:

Santorum fans are excited, but Romney has 50 more delegates then all three of the other candidates combined!

yes, but they have just enough to force the nomination to go to the convention instead of letting romney seal the deal.
I've rad six more delegates Romney; will Romney/Santorum change their minds about a ticket, TOGETHER?
 
As much as Democrats would like to see a brokered convention- it's highly unlikely. Romney only needs to win 1/3 of the remaining delegates to win the nomination.

I think a brokered convention would be a waste of time & money, though interesting. A Mormon against Obama would also be..........................unique. I see less anti-Catholic bias as evangelicals turned out for Santorum.

Not after April--Romney will win enough delegates to win this nomination. Rick Santorum cannot possibly catch up to Romney.

THE MATH is not there for Rick Santorum. He would literally have to win 99% of the states--including CALIFORNIA just to close the gap--and he would still lose.

There is no way Rick Santorum can win California--New York--or even Colorado which holds it's ballot primary on June 26th.

These evangelicals who are voting for Santorum are dumber than dirt--as Rick Santorum insulted them just two years ago when he stated that Protestants are gone from the world of Christianity. What religion do they think they came from--:razz:

That would be a horrible ticket. First, social conservatives (who aren't voting for Romney) will vote for him in the generals. Second, Romney needs to pick someone who will help him strenghten the I am good for the economy because of my private sector experience argument. Santorum isn't going to help on the economy. Third, if he goes with someone outside the economic spectrum go with someone who will help him with a voting class. I say go a different route.

Rubio - Smart and Charismatic guy. Obvious pick to secure FL and help with the Latino vote.

Christie - A moderate Republican that is very popular in a blue high electoral college state of NJ. He would kill Biden in any debate.

Meg Whitman - No in politics, but she is an economic genius with a lot of respect. It would strengthen Romney arguement that he is best for the economy.

Susan Collins - Seen as a moderate (even though she votes right), which will help with independents. She is strong but smart (anti-Palin).

Kelly Ayotte - the Darkhorse who I think Romney will eventually pick. She is the antiPalin pick. A Penn State UG and a Villinova Law Grad. Former DA and a smart, strong, charismatic conservative. Arguing with women is tough, arguing with a DA is nearly impossible. Not to mention she is young and attractive. I think she would be the best pick!
 
Li'l Ricky is laying the ground work for 2016. Remember 2008? It was Romney or McCain there for a while and the nomination went to McCain. But that made Romney the one to watch in 2012. Republicans do this every time.

Romney will win the nomination and get beat this November. But the Santorum mechanism is in place and will get mothballed until sometime in the summer of 2015.

if THE MATH is already set in stone.....why don't Santorum/Gingrich just go home already.......?

the possibility of a brokered convention still exists.....a total game-changer....:eek:

Gingrich could go home; thus leaving a conservative adulterer out of the mix ; )

However, after Super Tuedsday, Romney was in the SAME exact spot in '08 that Santorum is now. Romney said "for the good of the party he is dropping out."

All Santorum (and Gingrich) are really doing now is dragging out the process, having Repub concentrate on each other instead of Obama and they are all wasting their money against a $1 billion Obama reelection budget!

maybe Romney should say that again.....:eusa_clap:

calling a guy who comes in third place the "winner" is pretty pitiful....
