Good point about the delegates. People forget it’s delegate votes you need to win. And it’s not all or nothing when you win/lose.
This may end up being a brokered convention. If that happens who is the likely nominee? The guy that spent the most(Romney)? The guy the RNC funded the most (McCain & Rudy...guessing)? The guy that can unite the party (FRED!)? Or the guy that is guaranteed to lose (Huck)?
A perfect analysis.
Has anyone broken down the allotment of delegates across the states? I’d be curious to see where finishing second in every race would get a candidate. It seems that we’ll have multiple winners, the candidate that finishes second in enough races might get the 1230 needed to win the nomination.
Most likely Jeb Bush would be chosen in a brokered convention.
Especially if GWB works behind the scenes.
