  29. Romney

  30. I was just going over the primary rules and polls today, and I noticed • >> that Romney has a huge advantage in the Winner Take All primaries • >> (Arizona, California, Florida, New Jersey, Utah). They account for • >> 375 delegates, and he leads (or has won) in almost all of these WTA • >> states. If he stays up in the polls in those states (as he currently • >> is) it will be very hard for Santorum to catch Romney in delegates, • >> even if Santorum wins a larger share of the vote in the primaries. • >> What are the chances that Santorum beats Romney in California? • >> • >> In this respect, the GOP primaries resemble the Gary Hart v. Walter • >> Mondale contest.
