I can't see that happening. There are over 950 delegates still at large and Romney only needs 300 more to secure the nomination.


Are his 950 delegates obligated only for the first ballot??
.and, of those 950 delegates? Romney just lost some delegates in Iowa, Minnesota (“Ron Paul Wins Minnesota Delegates by a Landslide” ) and probably Alaska if Paul can get by the crooked backroom bassturds....and more states to come. CNN and Fox can declare the delegate count but Ron Paul is showing us that the voter, not CNN & Fox, have the final say.
Should Romney be in panic mode? Probably. Romney looks weak when the news has to be announced that Ron Paul won Iowa and more states to come.

Funny thing you mention Goldman Sachs. They are the "Too Big To Jail" banksters that control Carney and his top advisior at the Bank of Canada. Guess that gives Romney's and Obama's boss a Canadian connection to the US election.

I'm not sure where you are getting that from.
From what I can find, Minnesota is the only state Paul has won (Feb 7) - Paul 20, Santorum 17 Romney 2 Gingrich 1

Gingrich is expected to end his campaign next Tuesday, and may back Romney.

Romney should have the 1,144 delegates needed to win well before the convention starts.
I'm getting my numbers from Real Clear Politics btw -

I was only suggesting earlier that the time has arrived for a cohesive front to stop Obama. Gingrich is stepping aside on Tuesday. Division on the Republican front has to come to an end. All other candidates have shown the wisdom of knowing the obvious. The party has to come together to remove the narcissist fraud.

Romney Nomination in doubt – Brokered Convention likely

April 24, 2012. Des Moines. Two networks yesterday, CNBC and MSNBC, broadcast a little known fact – Ron Paul appears to be winning the Republican nomination for President. When the popular Texas Congressman repeatedly assured supporters that the race was about delegates, not beauty contests, he apparently knew what he was talking about. Now, after three more states locked in delegates to the GOP nominating convention – CO, MN and IA – indicators point to a brokered convention with a possible, even probable, Ron Paul victory.

Mitt Romney in a panic

The only report announcing the news of another Paul victory yesterday was the Doug Wead Blog. That write-up, which included the headline, ‘Romney in a Panic’, was picked-up and reprinted by a number of independent news outlets like RT News and The Daily Paul. Wead’s conclusion is based on a number of factors. First and foremost, Ron Paul continues to win more delegates than Mitt Romney during each state’s respective slating processes. Additionally, the writer points to drastic, last-minute changes to GOP procedure showing an attempt to limit the Paul vote. Some measures include a new poll tax in Washington and robo-calls in New York telling Republican voters that only Mitt Romney remains in the race.

What has the GOP power-brokers and their candidate in such a panic? In three short words – Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa.

Keep in mind that every major US news outlet continues to show Texas Congressman Ron Paul in last place for the GOP nomination and with only 75 delegates. View Politico's delegate tracker as an example. They show Rep. Paul winning 3 delegates in Colorado, 17 in Minnesota and 1 in Iowa. Those networks however, have based their numbers on which candidate each state’s delegates are pledged or likely to vote for. The more important number is who they actually do vote for. And in that race, the only race that matters, Ron Paul is shocking the political world.

You're illustrating my point. I've never been the biggest Romney fan and I lived in Boston for a decade. I wasn't the biggest McCain fan either. I hoped for Fred Thompson and when he didn't show I was backing Herman Cain. But the target is now Obama. He and the Congress backing him have to be removed before a nation is completely destroyed. Soon it's going to be May. The clock is ticking. Obama has to be the one in the crosshairs now. He has to be nailed every hour of every day by a unified front and he's provided no shortage of ammo.

Screw Romney - if the GOP thinks they can expect us to support that dog-hating sociopath, they have another think coming.

I understand your argument. I just don't think Romney can win it. Obama will trot out the fact that his healthcare mandate was modelled on Romney's and then Romney will be left without talking points.

Romney has a few hopes:

1) He better make love to the conservatives he are right now hating his guts. The McCain approach, which was the slander and make fun of conservatives, won't serve him
2) If he chooses a conservative running mate
3) If the economy continues on the lousy track it is right now

Why?

Granted, your argument would make sense if the big need was to stop Obama personally. However, what most conservatives hoped to stop was Obama's policies.

And as we saw from his record as governor of Massachusetts, Romney's policies are no different than Obama's. So questions over stopping Obama must give way to considerations over who would replace him.

The party has to come together to remove the narcissist fraud.

McCain was not the most conservative of Republicans. But he was pro-life. Not to mention a war hero.

As governor of Massachusetts, Romney gave us $50 abortions.

And Romney was a draft dodger.

But the target is now Obama. He and the Congress backing him have to be removed before a nation is completely destroyed. Soon it's going to be May. The clock is ticking. Obama has to be the one in the crosshairs now. He has to be nailed every hour of every day by a unified front and he's provided no shortage of ammo.


Again, the issue is policy, not personality.

If the United States risks being completely destroyed under Obama's policies, then how will the country fare any better under Romney, who advocates the exact same policies? It's would be like replacing Dalton McGuinty with John Tory.

Let me put it in terms you all can understand--

Duh!1 and The First Clydesdale utterly loathe America, the idea of America, and all Americans who aren't the same color they are.

Romney does not. I have a lot of problems with him- but I'll vote for him.

"Mitt just got real" MJGR...

Or to put it another way?

72 whenever I have trepidations about voting for Romney, I just remind myself of this one vital difference between Mitt and the current Preezy of the United Steezy:

MITT: Loves America
OBAMA: Doesn't
