If Santourm can win Wisconsin this thing is going to go on for a long time. Which is why I am going to be voting for Santourm in Wisconsin's open primary, lol. Operation Hilarity/Backdoor lives!

WI many not make a difference.

There's no way Santorum or Gingrich will win the majority of delegates left, let alone catch up. But for Romney to win the majority of delegates, that's still very much a toss-up. Remember he's won 54.9% of the delegates so far, now he needs to win the remaining 49.7%, most of which are in states and counties that are not favorable to him. It's close.

agreed.

I'm still hoping for a brokered convention, so I may be optimistically biased in favor of your analysis.

By the way, when I link to RCP, I see that they have Willard down for 560 delegates.

AP has it 563, Greenpages 558.

Romney has already won the nomination. What I was trying to say is that Santourm probably needs Wisconsin to keep going and possibly cause a brokered convention.

JJ is unable to understand that we want the primary to keep going for the lulz, not because there is any realistic possibility to deny Romney the nomination (even though Mittens does his best to keep our hopes up).

It won't.  Santorum will soon be in the position Gingrich is, unless he, Rick, starts winning big.

LA is his best hope to start, but he needs to win 17-20 delegates.
