Primary Math Favors Mitt
Often politics are a function of the heart and not the head. Certainly the Republican primary so far has involved a lot of passion, but now it seems that hearts should be placed aside while brains are pressed into service. What has become clear as a result of the votes on Super Tuesday is that the nomination math is getting easier to understand: Mitt Romney needs to win only 48 percent of the remaining delegates to clinch the GOP nod in Tampa. Rick Santorum by contrast needs to snag 65 percent while Newt Gingrich would have to somehow garner 70 percent.
It may not be pretty and it sure is not sexy, but the math is the math and it seems pretty clear. For the first time in years, Mitt Romney’s camp really can use the word inevitable and have it mean something. No doubt Romney is a seriously flawed candidate. Could we paraphrase Churchill and say that Romney may be the worst possible candidate, except for all the others.
