How do you have a clear path when you can never break the 30% barrier?

1) Winner-take-all primaries, such as Florida in 2008, where McCain only got 30% of the vote split 8 ways, but got 100% of the delegates;

2) Open primaries where Democrats can cross over and vote for the Republican candidate they would most like to run against.

The solution is easy: no winner-take-all primaries, and no Democrats voting to sabotage Republican primaries.

As some of the lower tier candidates drop out, I don’t think that their support will go to Romney. (well, maybe Huntsman’s may). I think most will go to Cain and Newt.
