Sen. Graham: GOP Race is "Mathematically" Over
Big Government ^ | March 12, 2012 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 03/12/2012 6:27:25 AM PDT by redstateone

On Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that the Republican presidential race is "mathematically" over and that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is all but assured to be the GOP's nominee.

"Mathematically, Rick would have to win 75 percent of what remains," Graham, a senior Republican who serves on various Senate committees, told ABC's "This Week" program...

Lindsey, too busy cover his whatever that is not even an a$$ anymore, from saving it to at least somewhat of an a$$, as all the GOP-E homosexual band is all about.

Lindsey, YOU, sir, are mathematically OVER.

THe GOP-E to liberals is like Red China to the Soviet Union. THey do not own the game of the liberals and hence the moderates will never make it, they will be the useful idiots following the wrong crowd.

“Lindsey Graham is a tool!”

Yes, and it is funny when someone throws in the graphic of “Grahamski” wearing your Nana's clothes - complete with a granny hat & purse!

But does the math equation work? Has it worked like this before?

Do tea leaves work better? How about intestine readings.

That’s right, blame social conservatives for refusing to support social liberals.

Correct. Actually going through the exercise has the habit of legitimizing or delegitimizing a particular candidate. Romney still has to win 47.3% of all remaining delegates to lock up a majority before the convention.

While this is a little bit less daunting than Santorum's task of winning 63.5% or Gingrich's task of winning 71.1% of remaining delegates, it is by no means a done deal.

The key numbers are:

Delegates won (Dw):
Romney = 454
Santorum = 217
Gingrich = 107

Delegates needed to win (Dn) = 1144
Delegates not yet allocated (Dr) = 1459

(Dn-Dw)/Dr = % of remaining delegates required to win.

If you want to take the view that Santorum and Gingrich are on the same team, you can add up their totals and still come up their need to win 56.2% of all remaining delegates to lock up the nomination.

Maybe, but our math isn’t too good, and we need the practice anyway, so let’s just run through the whole exercise anyway.

That's right! I went to a public school system.

Not if enough rules challenges can be made. I suspect that Virgina and Florida’s delegations can be challenged.

The pure? Please, we have supported your watered down lackeys for 30 yrs. and what has it got us? Literally Clarence Thomas, Alito and Roberts and that is about it.

I am by no means a purist buy my God how can you say with a straight face that Romney is conservative on anything.

If he were 50% conservative I would be a team player but he can’t even get close to that and I am supposed to be all rah-rah for this clod and the GOP team that couldn’t find a set of balls between the whole lot in McDonalds play area ball pit.

2010 showed this team player and coming together BS is one-sided as with all liberals. We conservatives are expected to give and give and give but damned if a liberal democrat or republican is going to give and inch. Ask Christine O’donnell, Sharon Angle and Joe Miller how much the purist on the liberal side of the party were team players in 2010. Now you get a dose of what you have been shoveling for 30 yrs and we are the problem? Screw that!

You want Romney you got him, don’t expect help from me in any form. You might-—might get my vote and that would be it.

“Lindsey Graham is a tool!”
*****************************************
Actually, sweet Lindsey IS a tool. And, come the 2014 election he will be history if we play our cards right. There are now some popular AND TRUE conservatives (e.g., Tim Scott) in South Carolina that would seriously kick little Lindsey’s ass in the Republican primary.

MY ANALYSIS WITH NEWT DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE:
Each following line will list the state name by its first 3-4 letters, the model I use to estimate the delegate breakdown( lib for liberal), total delegates allocated, and delegate shares designated with R for Romney, S for Santorum.
(Based on delegate counts from Real Clear Politics – which calculated Romney has 455, Santorum 199, and Newt 117 at the time I did this analysis.)
Ala.........Okla..............50.................. 0R.........50S
Alabama is truly southern state, therefore, will vote like Oklahoma.
Cali........Wash..............172..............129R........43S
California is liberal state with CD winner take all.
Conn........lib.................28.................28R
Connecticut is libral state with winner-take-all, WTA
Del...........lib.................17..................17R
Delaware is the same as Conn.
DC...........lib...................19...............19R
DC is the same as Delaware.
Haw.........lib...................20..................20R
Hawaii is the same as DC.
Ill............lib....................69..................69R
Illinois is the most corrupted.
Ind..........Ohio...............46..................27R.......19S
Indiana is similar but slightly more conservative than Ohio.
Ken........Kan.................45..................0R................45S
Kentucky is like Kansas.
Loui.........Okla..............46..................0R..............46S
Louisiana is southern state, like Oklahoma.
Mary.........lib.................37..................37R
Maryland is liberal, WTA.
Miss.........Okla...............40.................0R................40
Mississippi is southern state, like Oklahoma.
Missou.....Tenn............. 52................0R.................52S
Missouri has more self-righteous Christians, like Tenn.
Mont.........Wyo.............26.................26R
Montana is far west state, like Wyoming, maybe some for Santorum due to more conservatism, but not much.
Neb...........Minn.............35................17R.................18S
Nebraska is more conservative of the far west, so I used Minnesota model.
NJ............lib..................50.................50R
NJ is liberal. WTA
NY..........lib..................95..................95R
NY is liberal, WTA at districts.Santorum might get some districts here.
NC..........Okl............ .55..................25R................30S
NC is southern but more transient, therefore, more liberal, hybrid between Okla/Ohio.
Ore..........lib..................28..................28R
Oregon is liberal, like Washington.
Penn.......Mich..............72...................20R..............52S
Penn is like Ohio, but Santorum’s home state.
RI...........lib..................19....................19R
RI is liberal.
S.Dako...Wyo...............28...................18R...............10S
South Dakota is far west state but conservative, I used Ohio model.
TX ........Tenn/GA........155.................0R..............155S
I use hybrid model between Tenn and GA due to the natures of southern state.Ron Paul might deny Santorum 50% majority here.
Uta........Wyo.................40..................40R
Utah is Mormon state.
WV........Okla................31..................16R...............15S
West Virginia is like Virginia, goes with establishment, not sophisticated, Oklahoma-light model here with Romney is favored.
Wis........NDak..............42..................20R..............22S
Wisconsin is intellectual, rural, ND or Tenn model here.
Puerto.....lib...................23..................23R
Puerto is liberal.
Total...................................................801R
Romney now has 455, needs to have 1,144 for nomination. With projected 801 delegates, he will have 455 + 801 = 1198 delegates. Romney has 1198 -1144 = 54 delegates to spare if you want to argue with some plus or minus of my numbers. And I am very generous with Santorum.
I took into account state-wise and district winner-take-all options from most states. Of course I will miss some technicalities here and there but the whole picture does look gloomy.
People can be optimistic in saying as long as it is not Obama, they don’t care who wins. Really? Can we tolerate the loss of religious freedom and general liberty, more debt, national bankruptcy due to healthcare, federal hate crimes against our religious leaders and churches for not “marrying” homosexual couples in churches or for not providing them entertaining services or allowing them to perform lewd acts in public! Lord, have mercy!

“Lord, have mercy!”

May He have mercy on the plain folk. May He reward the powers and principalities with what they have earned, and may that reward be swift, final and clearly from His hand.

Twice a day Lindsey Graham’s broken watch is right, but he has it correct on this Mittens stuff. People want Mittens and are afraid of alternatives. Barbara Bush even practically endorsed him this weekend.

Sadly, the Lord doesn’t seem to help those so uninformed to help themselves. A miracle is needed.

= "to those of you who have yet to vote in MANY states, your vote means nothing and is regarded as nothing. You have no essential say in who the nomine off this Party will be, love it or lump it." (THERE, FIXED IT.)

I swear, lots of turncoats and seditious types out there, even in the GOP.

Romney’s record on gun control: http://www.nationalgunrights.org/pres_files/Romneyflier.pdf

Supports AGW, individual mandates and who knows what else.

Gee. Who said he is 0bama lite? There’s lite and there’s 90 calorie stuff. This guy ain’t either.

But he wears nice suits and buys a lot of votes.
