Now, Romney’s foes are eying a different goal — keeping the front-runner from amassing the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination by the time the last votes are cast on June 26 in Utah, a winner-take-all state that is all-but-certain to be in Romney’s win column. It’s a play that would, they hope, set up a potential fight at the convention.
How come the URL doesn’t link up for me? Don’t ask me. I filled in the blank and this is what I get from Politico.com front page?
In the end...shake up the gopE..rattle their cages and hold out for some "bartering" power at the convention. Starting to get a sinking feeling that Mitt will be the nominee but do want him to have to fight for every delegate.
Witnessing the end of American conservatism.
Romney should drop out now.
He’s acting as a spoiler, he needs to get out.
Keep the pressure on Myth and he may have to campaign the old fashion way. Mittens will get chewed up on a level playing field.
I think he's running out of cash.
Absolutely.
This column exposes what we all know, that ALL three candidates must stay in as the ONLY hold against 1144, and stay all the way to convention.
Romney was at only $7million when Newt got the speculated ten million dollar injection. Romney raised only $10 million since and right as he is needing much more to destroy the opposition in the South.
None of that is able to happen for Romney and it is showing.
Read where the Establishment said they will stay in for Romney “a little while longer”.
The Establishment has to be uneasy!
Hold the Line!!
A clickable link...same article but different news organ. :-)

Forbes said if Romney fails, that there could be another candidate put forth (from the RINO Establishment) but that it is unlikely. They have to be going wobbly since we are not caving out here as they assumed we would.
Thank you, RS. I am relieved.
Prepare mind for cognitive dissonance.
Recall Romney in 2008 (honestly I supported him after Duncan Hunter left the race) was running strong.
The *moment* it became evident he was not going to win, he dropped out. Instantly.
Romney doesn’t want a costly, protracted struggle to the very end. He’ll lose in a brokered convention if he doesn’t win soon and outright.
The moment he concludes he’s not going to win, my prediction is it will be Mitt Romney, not one of the others, who drops out.
Hold the line guys.
Force the issue.
Mitt Romney needs to leave this race.
You meanny... you take the “ooooh, yippie! Romney for President campaign” morale support of the corrupt GOP-E Rinos...
You are sooo bad, you are hurting another narcissistic cult.
(Sarc off)
Romney epitomizes the very type of rino the Tea Party has fought so hard to get rid of...I am ready for a 3rd party..the GOP no longer has my support
Fox News came up with some off the wall poll which stated the most intelligent and well educated voter’s support Mitt. BWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Wonder if there’s a way we can prevent Virginia’s Romney delegates from showing up ~ maybe one of those Alternative Republican party plays like the Democrats did with Mississippi years back ~ do a credentials battle.
The Fox crowd are a "captive nation".
The Fox crowd are a "captive nation".
Oh, yes. This IS the last of the Republican Party. We are heading into grave danger, short of a miracle. (We do believe in miracles, however.)
Never again for the party, for me.
Third Party, or nothing at all.
I will resign myself entirely to the prayer closet and lift no finger to play “CO-DEPENDENT” games with the Republican Socialist Party. I know where we are headed and getting through it will have to be in prayer.
