Now that Romney has the nomination sewn up and is on track to dutifully fulfill the GOP E`s agenda and lose by a landslide to Obama, my attention is now turned to holding onto the House. As for the Senate, I`m backing Jamie Radtke here in VA as the conservative to face 0bama`s pet `rat Tim Kaine in November.
As for the Presidential “race,” I`m looking toward the Constitution Party if it nominates Virgil Goode. The upside is that he has as strong a chance at beating Obama as Romney does. With no base and generating no excitement, and with women gravitating back to Daddy/Lover/Provider/Protector Big Government.. not to mention Obama`s machine having not yet even cranked up, Romney is clearly at a huge disadvantage.
The end result is going to make McCain`s loss in 2008 look like a squeaker.
It's not sewn up until the convention, or until he has a clear delegate count of 1144. He's 480 shy, and may not in fact have 1144 by the opening of the convention.
That very much depends on voters in the 17 or so states that have yet to vote, and many more are planning to vote to stop Romney in those states. They can still vote for Santorum, Gingrich and Paul - and I know many are working to make sure the turnout is high in Texas and in other states.
There are very many voters quite angry in those states, because they have not voted, and don't like the top-down declaration of victory for Romeny when in fact he does not have sufficient number of delegates.
Some are starting legal action to put muscle behind their anger over what they see as blatant disregard for law. Who knows what might come of it. Mitty isn't going to have a cake-walk from what I see.
