Looking at the delegate count, it looks as though he's not going to get to 1144. That will make for an entertaining convention.
Romney has 55% (404 out of 731) of the delegates so far. Is close, but still on track to win as slightly more than 50% is need to win (1144 out of 2186).

I hope you're bracing for some long time disappointments. Four more years of Obama (Barry O'Bama for St. Patrick's) and another eight years if Hillary runs next time.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

When one looks at the states Romney one many of them have him winning with 30s. If the others were not in the race, would Santorum have won? Also among the pundits there is comment about lack of enthusiasm for Romney. Voters will hold their nose and vote for him.

I wonder what the 'cost per vote' value would look like for each candidate...
Obama has spent at least several trillion in tax dollars so far for his re-election. He has promised many more.
From a distance she seems like a really credible option for the first female President. (but would that make Bill the first lady?).

Did Rommers really pledge to drop everyone's tax's by 20%? If he did he would be a danger to the global economy if elected.

Oh, he will still likely be the Republican candidate, as the "slow, forced march to Mitt-dom" trudges on to its ultimate conclusion, no matter how much the far right dislikes it.
What I'm saying is that it may have to happen at the convention, because of the states that remain, how he's expected to do in them, and how their delegates are apportioned.
His biggest advantage is that his remaining opponents are absolutely unelectable. Comically so. But I do miss the entertainment value provided by some of those already voted off the island, mainly Perry and Cain.
