Re: The Real Delegate Count - It's Over!
Looks like that will certainly be so after Utah on the 26th.
Current count: Romney - 1107

Re: The Real Delegate Count - It's Over!
The Real Delegate Count of delegates who prefer a
candidate, not those "bound" to a candidate
Romney 419, Paul 263, Gingrich 106, Santorum 41
Federal Lawsuit has been filed claiming
NO DELEGATES ARE BOUND!

SankaCoffee,
You malcontents can dream on. Romney has the nomination and it is time for Republicans to unite to get the Socialist in Chief out of office.
Then you guys can strategize how to get a candidate who is so conservative he would never win the general election nominated for 2016 or 2020.

How many of you want to bet that Romney is going to morph into the new socialist in chief if he wins the presidency?

I am willing to be that Romney at his worst will be a lot better than Obama at his best.
From a practical standpoint Romney knows the only way he will get a second term is to keep the Republican base at least somewhat happy so that will restrain him somewhat.
Right now the opposite is true. We have an avowed liberal as President who must placate his base of socialists, liberals, gay activists, unions, etc. Romney is not beholden to any of those groups.

If perchance that Romney doesn't win, do I get to come back and call you a name? 
Thus far, during the month of June, Obama has consistently had an 11-point lead over Romney. I expect that might change after August. We shall see.
This is what I think the scenario is really about, this is my assessment. I believe the RNC and Romney strategists knew that Romney couldn't win, but were relying on Obama to beat himself. That is a pretty risky strategy, but just as an overview, I think that pretty well nails it.

If you are talking about Romney winning the General I have never said that is a foregone conclusion. I have only said he is certain to get the nomination.
If you look at my posts you will see I have consistently expressed concern over the 30-40% of "independent" voters who determine each Presidential election. They typically are not politically involved very much and vote whichever way the wind is blowing and whichever candidate they feel the most comfortable with (one of the reasons by the way that in this age of media we MUST nominate candidates who are good communicators and appealing).
Added to the worry about the independents is that you malcontents could very well cost us a close election. If 5% of normally Republican voters stay home they will be handing the election to Obama.
Now if the tin foil hat Pauler's and other right wing activists miraculously turn the convention upside down as you dream of and Romney doesn't get the nomination - you can call me anything you want!
