Agreed on all points, but if all 5 more conservative candidates remain in the race past first 6 primaries, Romney has a shot at nomination. It will be Cain, Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, Newt (I am calling him conservative in spite of man made global warming couch scene with Pelosi) dividing the conservative voters, Paul will get his die-hard bunch and Romney picks up the rest.

I have my doubts that Bachmann and Santorum will remain.

I have a feeling we will end up fighting this out possibly in the convention, but unlike McCain, I don't see Romney getting a majority of delegates and I would be surprised if any of the Conservatives would be willing to give up their delegates to him. Deals will be made, people will drop out, etc.
