Oh how sweet it is. The clown car keeps rolling along.

Going forward, Frothy continues to do very well in the south, west, and midwest. RoMONEY does well on the coasts. They'll duke it out to the bitter end. Grampy and the Grinch are pretty much done. There is an out and out civil war going on the in GOP. The DNC should keep running the Flip Romney ads in the GOP primary states as they come along because THAT is why the TeaNutters don't like him: The sticking narrative is that Mittens has a llllllong history as a moderate and that he's an opportunist (not to mention a northern elitist). Whether or not he is now talking like a TeaNut doesn't matter to them. "He USED TO BE a moderate, and he's a flip flopper you can't trust. If he would flip to the right, who is to say he won't flip back to the left?" That is their fear of RoMONEY. The DNC should keep that narrative going and going. If RoMONEY does eventually win it, he is damaged goods, the TeaNuts will be turned off bigtime, and the civil war in the GOP will go on through November. Good things.

and the winner-take-alls will start. Santorum will win Texas, Romney will win New York. Can Santorum win in Pennsylvania, the state that so unceremoniously dumped him six years ago?

If it becomes a two-man race it will likely lead to a contested convention.

Now the ugly truth comes out that he is going to have a hell of a time scraping up enough delegates for an uncontested nomination.

I love it. I want an open convention where all the dirty laundry finally comes out to dry.
