re: #136 goddamnedfrank

I dont’ understand why people keep saying this. It strikes me as more of an emotional reaction or wishful thinking than having anything to do with the math. Even if Romney loses Ohio he’ll come out tonight with more delegates than the rest of the field combined. It’s likely that he’ll hold that position at least until the big winner take all contests start to kick in, where states like California and New Jersey are likely to push him over the top.

To me, it’s all about momentum going into those winner-take-all contests and the convention. Mitt hasn’t got it and Santorum is getting some; Mitt may have the lead in delegates now, but Santorum has the opportunity to fuck Mitt’s world completely up in those big primaries.

The GOP establishment has got to be apoplectic about that possibility, hence the rumors about a brokered convention.
