...the numbers have been crunched, and there is virtually no way to deny Romney the nomination short of upsets in California, New Jersey and *drum roll* Utah. Good luck with that!
Congratulations Winfield!
I think romney will win California but lets all remember that everyone seemed about ready to call the whole thing for romney right after NH. and then he lost SC and Fl seemed to be in doubt for a second. Then he bounced back with NV only to receive an epic ass kicking by Santorum in 3/3 states. He lost effin Colorado of all places, his 2nd best 08 state. So it is not out of the realm of possibility that he stumbles again.
You forget that Paul would have beat him in Maine if not for those votes in the river.
The problem with throwing ballots into the river is that they could conceivably turn up someday.
The best thing is just to burn them then dispose of the ashes so they cannot be somehow forensically reconstructed.
I think the Fed prints money on the uncounted Paul ballots.
