>> Either way, we get to the same deplorable destination <<

At least Romney can’t say that if he had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin. And at least Romney won’t have a beer on the White House lawn with Henry Louis Gates. And when her husband wins, at least Ann Romney won’t say it’s the first time she’s been proud of the USA. Good enough for me!

True, but those are at most nothing but symbolic gestures that amount to a fart in a windstorm, but the real damage will still be the same in the end.....and, like it or not, the vast majority of the population WILL consider Mitt to be a representative of Conservatism, even though we all here know that's bulsh. But Romney will destroy conservatism for good. At least with Obama, the Rats will own it, and we can regroup for 2016.

Conservatives are NOT ready to wave the white flag and cede the nomination to Romney! Newt is still IN! The numbers are NOT with Mitt Posted by noprisoners49 (Diary) Friday, April 13th at 5:30PM EDT 56 Comments Recommenders: garfieldjl (Diary), dialove Mitt Romney must win over 60% of all remaining hard delegates to secure the GOP nomination. Surprised? 19 states still need to be heard from, and of those states 869 hard delegates are available at the state and district level (discounting the 37 total delegates available between Indiana and Arkansas, which have proportionality rules only a democrat could love). State and committee GOP delegates number about 69, which I’m throwing into my calculations as a given for Romney. Nevertheless, Romney still needs 663 delegates to reach that magic 1144 number. Can he do it? Of the 11,280,792 votes cast so far, Romney has accumulated 4,595,908 or only about 41%. Typically, Romney does not garner more than an average of 44% of the vote. Santorum averaged about 25% of the vote. Even if half of Santorum’s supporters vote for Mitt, this still does not give him the necessary 60+ % to secure the GOP nomination.
