Ain’t going to ron paul in the majority.[/quote]
You are exactly wrong. Ron Paul stands to win the most delegates from Santorum dropping out as he was the main competition in many of the caucus states. It doesn’t help Santorum would give any delegates to Romney but the majority of Santorums wins were caucus states. You now have Ron Paul winning about 8 or 9 states Romney winning about 15-17 states. It would be hard for Paul to catch him but it’s not impossible. If Paul were able to capture Texas and/or California which aren’t very Romney friendly, Paul would be able to catch him. I’m not saying it’s likely, but it certainly isn’t a done deal.
If you read the media you would be told to believe that Santorum endorses Romney and the delegates would all follow. Not true by a long shot.

ParticipantNow we need Dr. Newt to drop out and Dr. Ron will finish 2nd or better, as predicted by markmax33. There.

Yes, looks like the path is now wide open for Paul to win it all. If only Romney would drop out…

ParticipantThis is Ron Paul’s moment to shine. The door is wide open for him to face Romney one-on-one, start winning primaries in big states…
Hehe, just kidding. It’s over, no brokered convention. It was always going to be Romney who gets the privilege of losing to Obama this November.

lol. Short of Romney keeling over, some act of God, or some scandal erupting. I’d say Romney for the win.

[/quote]CA is a winner take all state – so there’s a big chunk of delegates.
But after an informal poll of my coworkers (all GOP types)… I’d say he’ll get about 10% of the vote.
I predict Romney will take CA.

I’m not sure when max said that about California and Texas not being Romney friendly. It is true in Texas. California not so much. His polling has been on a steady rise for months. With Santorum out, he has California locked. Paul on the other hand, polls worse in Texas and California than he does on the national level.

No we’re not. Like I said, short of a scandal, death, or acts of God, or he self-withdraws for whatever reasons, Romney for the win.

You just hate it because you know I’m going to right.
Anyway, for the rest of the folks… Any takers on Romney versus Obama.
I was saying Obama is going to win for the past few months with the precondition that the economy holds up they that is was…Well guess what? My prediction now is that if the stock market continues to tank the way it is up to the election, he ain’t going to make a second term.
Romney’s going to make a pitch. “Look at all the big government spending, and where did it get us… Absolutely nowhere…”
Furthermore “Well, what do you expect..When you have an inexperienced ex-senator who never ran a business try to run a country… Meanwhile, I’ve got tons of business experience”… And then all the sudden, “Spoiled, rich, 1% Romney” whom the public would have despised all the sudden becomes this country’s saving grace…He’s going to put a spin about how the “1%” is needed to save this country. He’s going to call up his country club boys to pitch in a few jobs here an there at big companies, just enough to make the front page. We’re going to hear about how companies are starting to create jobs here again, (at least that’s what people will think.) And he’ll probably push to cut a few government programs here and there…In reality, he won’t be any different from anyone else….
Just a different puppet to different corporate masters…Although, cutting the GSA wouldn’t be such a bad thing at this point.

No offense to any Piggs, but my personal experience with Mormons tells me that a scandal could indeed still erupt in the “Romney camp.” :=D

I agree. But I doubt the market will continue to tank. Spain was an issue today. Futures are up right now. A correction is still due, unless earnings are way beyond expectations.
But, if the market is relatively stable, and job creation continues, it should be a lock for an Obama 2nd term. It’s a bit like ’88, dems just weren’t excited about Michael Dukakis. Though republicans today hate Obama a whole lot more than anyone hated Bush I. But they’re still not going to be all that excited about Meh Romney. And women will elect Obama to a 2nd term. And if republicans aren’t pretty damn careful with women’s issues between now and the election, they may also elect a Democratic house. Senate should be safe too.
If the recovery stalls, market correction lasts and doesn’t recover most of its losses by October, Romney could win. But it will still be close. Obama has a shit load of money.
Bonus prediction: Nikki Haley will be the running mate. Palin only smarter. Southern Baptist heads will explode with no Christians on the Republican ticket.
