The outcome tonight isn’t that bad. The primary schedule has largely favored Romney thus far. Just take a look at the states that have voted, MA, NH, AZ, ID, NV, FL, VT are all states Romney should have won. The southern states will not be kind to Romney. I expect this to go to a brokered convention.
In MA, Mittens won 72% of the popular vote and all 38 delegates. In order to participate in proportional allocation, a candidate needed to get at least 15% of the vote. My guy Newt got 4.7%. Santorum got 12%, and Paul 9.5%.
