“Futhermore, he needs 46% of the remaining vote to win the nomination outright, he won’t get 46% of the remaining vote and each primary he does not get 46% of the vote, that percentage only goes higher.”

Not correct. If Newt stays in the race we have 4 candidates dividing the votes since Dr. Paul will not drop out. There are a ton of states coming up where delegates are awarded by WTA-CD. Which means winner takes all by congressional district. Assume Paul gets 10%, Newt gets 25%. That leaves 65% divided between Santorum & Romney. Which means 33% wins ALL delegates in that district.

All built on assumptions by you.

I hate to break to you buddy, but we ain't voting for Mitt ROmney.

And if he wins the nomination, we all lose.

Best be getting busy trying to make sure he does not win, than trying to convince everyone about the FALSE inevitability of Mitt Romney.
