Will the delegate battle go to the convention?

[Fritz]

Thought I'd check public opinion here.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I don't think so- at some point momentum and inevitablity will catch on

I'd argue the final slide towards Romney inevitability has already begun. I don't think the anti-Romneys can survive April (though I'm almost positive they'll all stay in regardless). There's just way too much momentum to overcome after already being down by so much.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Nope.

[Likely Voter]

Santorum has already blown 3 chances to change the dynamics of this race (MI, OH, IL). Even if he wins half the states going forward (LA, WI, PA, NC, IN, WV, NE, KY, AR, TX, SD, MT) Rommey still locks it up on June 5th.

Santorum's only chance now is an alignment of planets. He needs most (if not all) of the following to happen:
1. Holding Romney to less than 1/4 delegates in Santorum states (especially TX)
2. Winning on Romney territory (MD, DE, OR, NM)
3. Winning 1/3+ of the delegates in remaining Romney states (especially CA and NY) (with Paul and Newt picking up some too)
4. Getting AZ and FL delegates split proportionately
5. Getting Santorum and Paul Ninja delegates to steal assumed Romney delegates at caucus state conventions
6. Prevent most super delegates and other unbound from swinging to Romney

...and the chance of him pulling all that off is possible but certainly less than 10% at this point

No- April 24 it will be obvious and June 5 it will be realized.

[Bacon King]

The only way I see it going all the way to the convention is if Ron Paul's ground game really does beat all expectations and there are enough Paultards "pledged" to Romney that they can actually make a difference.

[J. J.]

No - I expect to be over by May 1st.
