Why is this Romney's last chance?

With Fred down and out, I'm trying to become a Romney fan.  With the candidates left, he is the best choice.  I still would have went for Hunter.

That being said, i have been hearing a lot about how Romney neeeeeeds, the vote in Detroit, to stay in the race. No mention of everyone else.  Let's look at the facts, shall we?

Candidate Delegates
Rudy Giuliani 1
Mike Huckabee 21
Duncan Hunter 1
John McCain 10
Ron Paul 2
Mitt Romney 30
Fred Thompson 6
Total 71

If you ask me, it looks like if McCain doesn't get this one, he is out.  It also looks like you can just stop talking about Giuliani already.  Then there is some guy named Ron Paul!?!?

Needless to say, Romney isn't a favorite among the press or the other candidates, but he is winning, and winning by quite a margin. Even if he keeps getting second places.

And if you care:

Candidate Delegates
Hillary Clinton 183
John Edwards 52
Mike Gravel 0
Dennis Kucinich 0
Barack Obama 78
Bill Richardson 0
Total 313

I'm with Splitt on this one. I don't believe that Fred has a chance, so I am working my hardest to become a Romney supporter. As I think about it, I've been a Boston supporter all year (Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics) and since Mitt was the Governor of Massachussetts, maybe his fits the criteria.

If anybody is hating life, it would be Giuliani, Hunter and Paul. They should drop out and save money or pump it into the campaign of somebody who has a chance. Once again, the media is trying to spin that Romney is doomed.

After reading this post I paid particular attention to how the Michigan results were reported.  Even after Romney won in Michigan by 9% and added to his solid lead in delegates I heard this morning "There is no frontrunner in the Republican race" and the race is "wide open."  Neither report I heard acknowledged Romney's strong lead.

What can I say, I'm a Ron Paul fan.  Among the current candidates, he is the ONLY one who will govern strictly according to the Constitution.
