Newt didn't campaign in Kansas because it was pointless. Santorum is projected to win by +25%.

Which is my point. If one of them is stronger in a state, they should focus on that state and cede their weaker states to the other guy. That's the way to maximize their delegates and beat Romney at the convention.

You left out Texas, no doubt deliberately. Gov.Perry has been pulling out all the stops to benefit Gingrich.

Add those delegates, then redo your math.

Huh? Texas?

Did they vote already?
Do they vote this Tuesday with AL and MS?

Last I saw, they don’t vote to May 29th.

Why would I include numbers for a primary that doesn’t happen for another 2 months? And you’re the person that was shoving HARD and SOFT delegates down everyone’s throat? WTF?

Gingrich + Santorum together is enough to overcome Mitt. One will doubtless throw his support to the other before the convention. Gingrich is persistent but he is not asinine.

I don’t know. That confused me too, but looks like Romney is above 20 now. Barely. If this holds, Romney will pick up 6 delegates. I think he was expecting 12.

I keep hearing all about how Newt taught military history and strategy to senior officers. One would think that such a brilliant lecturer would have retired general officers coming out of the woodwork, tripping over themselves to endorse him...

...and yet (while I could be wrong), to my knowledge, the most senior retired officer to have endorsed in this election cycle is a man's man and soldier's soldier, Jerry Boykin...who endorsed Santorum.

Yeah, so the question is what happens to the remaining 9?

We got Santorum winning all 4 CD’s for 12 Delegates, and 52% of the vote for 13 of the 25 at large delegates. He also gets the 3 bound Super delegates. So he’s got 28 at the moment.

Looks like Romney is going to get 6 after all, damn.

But what about the remaining 6? KS GOP should give them all to Santorum just like the MI GOP did in MI.
