At first it was scary and there were tears, because he had never ridden front facing before. He had always riden rear facing. Then he realized how much he could see. Truck! Ambulance! Red Light! It was a thrilling ride to school facing forward! (Yeah, the picture is blurred because he was moving, but it was the one that best showed his joy after the trip. :-) )
Charts from the Abulsme.com 2012 Republican Delegate Count Graphs page. When a candidate gets down to 0%, they have clinched the nomination. If they get above 100%, they have been mathematically eliminated. The first chart is by date, the second is by “% of Delegates Already Allocated”. These numbers include estimates of the eventual results of multi-stage caucus processes which will be refined as the later stages occur. Yawn! This is so past over it isn’t funny, but I’ll be doing these posts until Romney gets to 1144! Anyway, the new delegates awarded tonight are:
So that makes the total for today Romney 85, Santorum 8, Paul 6, Gingrich 4. Hmm. Wonder who won tonight? With 82.5% of the delegates, Romney did way better than the 29.7% of the delegates he needed to continue on pace for clinching the nomination. Meanwhile, Santorum finally reached the point where even if he got 100% of the remaining delegates he could not catch up and win. So now there is only one. But Romney still has to finish mopping up the delegates. He now only needs 23.0% of the delegates that are left in order to get to 1144. Next up is Oregon on the 15th. Then Kentucky and Arkansas on the 22nd. Then Texas on the 29th. Texas will probably be the state that puts Romney over the top unless he does much worse than expected between now and then. |
